Scary story about explosions near London

ByRod Adams

I ran accross the following story on Google News a few minutes ago. Apparently there was at least one large explosion followed by a raging fire in the fuel depot of a the Luton airport – 20 miles outside of London. Some reports talk about a series of explosions. Few details are available – a Google News search shows that there are 118 links to various media outlets, but a quick look through them shows that they are essentially identical wire service reports.
