We heard a loud bang, that shock our building, at WRD Group, and heard it's a 2 bed house that been flattened by an explosion.

 

Hope no-one was at home.

The bang was unbelievable. We were in a 2 storey portakabin by the sewerage plant at Blackburn meadows and it shook the building to the point that we thought something had driven into us.
