The smoke reminds me of scenes of Buncefield, it's that bad.

They say its a bus station.

Just what I thought TW.

A major blaze. Old bus station could well have tyres and inflammable substances

Looking at the pictures from the helicopter, I can see the tower block where my uncle used to live.

Rail service closing in that area due to the smoke

OMG Its massive, like a huge warehouse fire. Looks like the fire brigade are moving buses out of the depot next door.

It's right on the edge of the Olympic Village site.

My Niece lives there but I don't have her number to check on her. She was moved out of her flat to make way for the Olympic Village and into a house a bit further away but still in the area.

I hope it is soon under control.

They should move people out nearby cos diesel fumes are well dodgy if breathed in...
