This afternoon the Monsoon biodome at Chester Zoo caught fire and burned down. The area housed various Crocodiles, Hornbills, Sumatran Orangutans and various tropical plant species. The fire seems to be under control now, and no human casualties reported, but it seems highly unlikely many if any animals would have been evacuated in time given the situation.
RSS feed, thanks for the info, etc. But the real reason I was prompted to post? Twitter is alight (pardon the pun) with people asking whether they can still use their tickets to the lantern show tonight, or moaning about the Zoo in general (one of the best, it has to be said). WTH is wrong with people? A sad situation indeed.
