Hi all If you don`t have SKY then this is being covered on BBC1, i first heard about this at 7am as my daughter-in-law rang me from Luton to say her windows had blown open. They are saying on the news for people in the area to keep their windows and doors closed due to the smoke. Lyn x. I do hope people are ok.

Herts Constabulary Press conference on the incident is at 9.30am - would imagine all the channels will show this live

Linda OMG already?? - that was what went through my mind straight away - what with that and it being so close to the airport - I have doubts about it being an accident somehow !!!

It's a couple of junctions away from Luton airport so not that close to link an attack - however that depot does supply fuel to the airports!! Penny
