Devastating news pal just pleased to hear no one was injured or worse, hopes all gets sorted for you

Glad you're safe acko.

I saw that as I was headed to the gym on Saturday - Thornes road and surrounding was gridlocked and there was black smoke billowing; by the time I got out, the extent of it had become clear - half of the city centre evacuated by the sounds, and a warning of airborne asbestos. Scary stuff - and remarkable that no one was injured or killed.

I worked at that factory on a temp contract many years ago, sweeping leaves off the entrance road - over and over and over again, Forth Bridge style. I have never been able to look at a donut since.

I presume they'd have had a lot of flour and sugar in there. It can be highly combustible/explosive, almost like gunpowder.

And cooking oil or fat too.
