Explosion on Slough trading estate?

Anyone know what just happened? Heard an explosion and our building just shook. Looked out the window and there's loads of black smoke coming from the direction of the Toyota garage.

Was going to make a hilarious joke about V-Tec kicking in untill I remembered that it would be Honda and not Toyota. Maybe someone pronounce Auris correctly and the salesman exploded?

It was just on BBC News 24 as well, 'major explosion' they said.

I used to do some work for a managed services firm round there.

Wonder if the Mars factory has taken any damage! Very near the Toyota Garage

Seem the credit crunch has forced Toyota into an insurance job.

No, mars is fine. I seems contained in the factory and fires are under control.. It wasnt toyota that exploded, it was accross the road...

Go run towards the smoke with your video camera and upload it onto youtube later!
