It seems there was a gas explosion at the bottom of the street I live, in the early hours of the morning. I slept through it but my mum and brother were woken up by it. Apparently there was a build up of gas from the pipes and a manhole cover flew off and landed in the tarmac, cracking it slightly... Then the police came and put it back on, which caused another explosion with a flash. The fire brigade arrived to do whatever and my next door neighbour had to remind them to switch their fire engine's engine off as they left it on next to the gas pipes. The incompetence!

It's a shame I slept through it, but I would have ended up falling asleep during my exams later on today if I did get woken up.
