Sadly four people have lost their lives with four critically ill in hospital

Difficult to comprehend how anyone could survive that horrible incident

Sounds like a gas explosion Leon doesn't it?
Can't think of much else it could be.

Reports suggest it was a gas explosion

Also reported that some of those who lost their lives were caught up in this disaster whilst on the dual carriageway, a bus shelter was completely blasted away. Wrong place at the wrong time !

Ah, o.k.
I`ve watched too many Youtube so called `fake flag`-conspiracy theory stuff. Not sure what is true what not...what one can believe and what not.

Well, one things seems to be true: we are s**t. :lol:

Yeah, but doesn`t prove anything, not even that the three men exist...o.k., being over sceptical here maybe.
But would want to wait until they`ve been in court and there identity is known.

The police generally have clear evidence after stringent investigations in a case like arson

Not guilty until proven as you imply Fred

Leon, Fred is wearing his tinfoil hat here, and is suggesting that the 3 men do not in fact exist and are a diversion set up by the box (MI5) to take all suspiscion away from what really happened.

I'm saying nowt, but conspiracy theorists will find alternatives for any event, and manipulate facts to their own ends and beliefs :shhh: (actually, when I think about it, a bit like MI5 do :shock: )...

But I think that is what Fred is alluding to....

Traces of petrol found throughout the building

CCTV at the back of the property had been turned round by a gloved hand

Thought it was dodgy from the moment this horrible incident was reported
