The 'Stockline' explosion

We've dealt with these companies for some years - in fact I was in the process of trying to set up a development programme with them. So it was a shock when the BBC called me (I get called whenever there's a disaster - don't ask). I hadn't heard the news but I know some of the people there so I'm listening closely.

Anyway, the BBC chappie asked if, given their previous involvement with dodgy sales to dodgy regimes in Africa, that there might be a terrorist involvement. 'Let's look for the simple solution first,' says RDT, 'gas, solvent or dust explosion.' Basically, did the building blow out or in? Now seems clear that it blew out.

S'funny - you go to work in the morning expecting you'll be home for your tea at night.
