A major fuel depot caught fire - millions of gallons of fuel burning away. 20 individual fires in all, 10 of which are now out, the remaining ten may take up to a few days to put out.
No sure how or why it went up yet - but the explosions were heard from miles away. Doug |

London is completely blanketed by the black plume of smoke from Europe's worst
peacetime fire in this Envisat image, taken within five hours of the blaze beginning. Full story at: http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEMTBYVLWFE_planet_0.html -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

>>millions of gallons
70 millions of gallons exploded. One explosion measured 2.5 on the Richter scale - its the biggest European fire since WW2. |
