Explosion in Oldham - child killed.

[TheRhubarb]

There has been a huge explosion in Shaw, Oldham with one child killed. They are trying to rescue another man trapped and one person remains unaccounted for.

I have family and friends living in Shaw. I hope to God none of them are involved.

Sorry, didn't see your post Viva - they wouldn't just randomly turn gas supplies off unless they knew there was a leak & were actively working to fix it & needed the gas off to do that.

A 32yr old man has been arrested

Is that on bbc BlackOut? I thought they wanted to question the guy in hospital.

No, different ages
