I wondered what the noise was last night... loud enough for me to go downstairs and check the house out to see if anything was amiss.
It's about 3 or 4 minuted stroll from me. Judging by the reports, the kebab shop in question is the one that used to be a public toilet block - I kid you not.

Might take a couple of pics in the morning and post back here, for your rubber-necking pleasure.

Ugh, not this again. We had a pizza parlor blow up like that not too long ago. First it was treated as an accident, then it was declared a racist attack and finally it was revealed, that the place was set on fire by its owners, apparently for insurance fraud.

What a funny little trick. I bet the families of the 3 innocent people who died in there were all smiles and laughs too. Great to hear no one got hurt in this case.

latest local rag says one body recovered yesterday during cleanup

EDIT:
Perhaps not such a good idea to get all david baily about this after all.

Very serious indeed, no need for speculation until the cause is discovered.

You know in Star Wars when a ship goes into Warp Speed, and it just turns into a bright blue ball of light, then there's a flash and it's gone?

That's kind of what it looks like.
