I too wondered if it was to do with the installation of the boiler, maybe they put it in and weren't qualified to do so...but we're all guessing...whatever it is still very sad so many innocents died. |

Something very strange about this. the owner of the shop (who avoided the blast mostly as he was 'out the back'. has had his house searched today and police refused to say if he was one of the men in their thirties arrested (he is 33). |

The girlfriend of the elder son was also killed, as was the lady working in the shop. |

Looks like it is thought to have been a gas explosion and the only gas in the building is a boiler in the bathroom of the flat. three people from the flat died (Mother and two teenage sons) a third son age 15 I think, was rescued from the rubble, the father was at work. |

It looks like the buildings weren't actually terraced - just close to each other. |

Desperately sad but it looks like it was an accident. I certainly hope it was but , looking at the television reports, aren't those buildings solid? |
