I heard, it's terrifying. I really hope it isn't anything more sinister than a major fault in a gas main.

Oh no! Caused by what, @DuncinToffee ?

They haven't said yet but it was a block of flats and they don't expect to find any survivors at this stage.

It's just a weird feeling knowing my grandparents lived a few streets away from there.

I bet. Very upsetting.

This is what the BBC are reporting:

The cause of the explosions is not yet clear, but Dutch police said a car drove away "at very high speed" shortly after, and have appealed for witnesses.
Jan van Zanen said the chance of survivors being pulled from the rubble was slim, and urged the community to prepare for a "worst case scenario".

Really scary and not surprised you feel a bit unsettled @DuncinToffee

That's horrific. The fact that there was a car speeding away doesn't look good.

Let's hope the car was a coincidence. The footage looks dreadful - more so I imagine if you are familiar with the area.

The coregated roof at the leisure centre I've been at was lifting up.

They are doing works to roof so scaffolding everywhere - and hence the temporary roofing. I'm glad I'm not the man who had to go up there and secure it 🫣😂

Also remember '87.

I was about 3 miles from where I e been today!!

Very windy as it's an island effectively!!!

Windy back in my town right now too!

Let's hope the car speedo g away was simply the, seeing it in their rear view mirror and wanting to get away.

Doesn't sound good though 😢

A bit of arm wrestling going on between Macron and Trump at the reopening of the Notre Dame

Is Macron trying to deny that it wouldn't have happened if Trump hadn't personally overseen the restoration ?

Maybe Trump was offloading his new fragrance

Trump has some bibles to offload. Probably had a little trestle table set up by the entrance.

Syria has suddenly become interesting. I wonder where Assad has fled to ? Isn't he quite a big Anglophile ?

I thought there already was a fragrance called L'Egoiste?

More like: Trump - the stench of corruption. Pour hommes.

Eau de Colon

He brought his new wife Elonia

Trump Musk sounds like a really stinky aftershave.

😂

Flight radar most watched this afternoon was a private jet from Syria - landed in UAE.

I’ve got the reopening of Notre Dame on catch up so I’m behind reality as didn’t want to miss anything.

I'm very much hungover today following last night's work party, and have been avoiding the news to avoid the sports results until dh can catch up together.

The updates here are much appreciated so thank you.
