explosion photos

when that refinery exploded near london, someone here took photos of it,
are there any photos around for us to see from it? or have they been hidden somewhere ?

The refinery was at Hemel Hempstead and the photographer was VIRII, he sold them to The Sun newspaper. I was thinking about this the other day as I never did see the good ones

Aye, I haven't seen those either, I'd quite like to have a look

VIRII · 23 Feb 2006 at 16:34

I'll stick em up on one of those free google page things.
I'll have to put a disclaimer about them being copyright and that permission must be sought for republishing them though as I don't want to give the sun back £1500.

Incidentally there is a Govt report out about it with some amazing aerial shots. http://www.buncefieldinvestigation.gov.uk/report.pdf

I'll do the pics over the weekend.

I was thinking about that the other day too. It'd be appreciated if you could share the ones we've not seen before

Not sure, there are 85 pictures but some are rubbish and some avery similar to others. I think that there are maybe 15 that are really worth seeing. I'd stick them up in compressed format somewhere - shouldn't take too much room.

The place still looks like a bomb hit it, not sure how many of the buildings are going to be reinhabited yet, the ones that took the brunt are going to get pulled down I would think.
