Thornton Heath: Three injured as gas explosion destroys house

  1. >Residents say they had reported a strong gas smell two weeks ago and had felt dizzy in recent days.

    Doesn’t inspire much confidence that it was reported but still blew up. You can call me a luddite if you want but I’ve never thought it was very sensible having such a volatile substance piped into our homes which is capable of causing catastrophic damage to life and property, which seems to be happening worryingly regularly nowadays.

  2. A four year old girl has died.
    I certainly hope this situation has nothing to do with improvisation of gas appliances in order to save money as there has been at least one previous death associated with this practise.
