When I originally saw the damage I thought a limited gas leak and then a random ignition. I saw the stupid far right claims of a bomb factory. Since most of the neighbouring properties still had glass I was pretty sure that couldn't be right. Sadly I've seen what damage a terrorist bomb does to buildings (Ealing etc). Then I was wondering..... recent refit of the retail shop downstairs and thought perhaps escaped refrigerant, but way too much damage given the maximum load of 3 to 6kg. Latest speculation is a basement distillery. I know a few boys around Southall do this sort of thing, but never thought it could bring a building down? Bootleg booze kills 5!
One thing is for certain Leicestershire police are adept liars and they are not telling the truth They immediately rule out terrorism yet they still don't know what it was or more likely don't want to alarm the public with facts about what happened
True, Leicester police are being guarded about releasing information. Sometimes that is no bad thing in these days of trial by media. I'd rather that than deliberate leaks of misinformation which a number of forces are often guilty of. That they have charged 3 men with mansluaghter, and they are from around the country, points away from an accidental gas leak, or illegally tapping into the gas supply to bypass the meter IMO.
Gas is at such a low pressure, even coming in from the street, you could stop it with your own breath off the end (widely used low pressure mains) . Not sure how you could charge all three, "cowboy plumbers flock" together? May be they are the landlords or owners of the site? Ps. If they did bypass the regulator (drops street pressure to 21mbar) then the gas pressure would eventually push the heavy grease from any gas valves, like those on a cooker or gas hob...... I've done this myself looking for a small leak on a gas hob using OFN.
I found it interesting to note that the girlfriend (who has also been killed) of one of the young men who died in the flat was of a different ethnic background........
Not sure where you are going with this? I'm a white caucasian (IC1) and have had girl friends that were of various backgrounds. Indian, Irish, Jamaican, Asian and eventually marred a hottie from Whitby..? Ive No terror or crime links (apart from a few on here).
Thats the way it should be, but there are some wicked people in this world, driven by strange ideals.
So it was the ic1,Indian, Irish, Jamaican, Asian and even marred the hottie from Whitby.. with the illegal booze ting powered by gas in the basement!.....of which could all be lies cos the leicester massive said so..
Sssh, the detective has arrived, all will be sorted asap. I suspect the explosion was caused by poor obs and people riding beyond their limits.
