Possibly on old WW2 artilliery shell, but a bit late to be doing a controlled explosion?

Vindaloo or Phall?

MPS Helicopters ‏@MPSinthesky 2m For all those asking/concerned. There was a controlled explosion of an old wartime shell discovered on the foreshore near Canary Wharf.

So that's what the damn helicopter outside all day was about!

Hope not, as I have shed loads of work to do today and don't really want to be stuck. And I like my view over London :mad:

When was this as I heard a odd noise just after 10pm last night....

Well I've been here 20 mins and I can't seem to see anything out of the ordinary.

Same here, which is a shame as I have some really boring meetings later which I would have been happy to rearrange.

I think we're about to have a fire evac test as the lifts are out of order.... Good thing I didn't do squats last night as 30+ flights of steps would have been torture!

Wasn't it dave_beast who trolled a terrorist threat at Gatwick airport a few months ago?
