Default MASSIVE fireball over london
Looking east from my office in central london, massive fireball and now the biggest column of smoke youve ever seen.

Just uploading a pic.

Anyone know / see anything?

Yep just looking at it from my window at Canary Wharf, looks a pretty big fire with the smoke blowing this way. Thick black smoke going very high up but nothing on the news sites so far.

From the thick black plume i'd guess oil was burning and if its a bus garage that could well be the case.

It's Red Ken just burning down the last few businesses that haven't got off 'his' land to make way for the stadium.

But DSG's head office is in Hemel Hempstead...

Did you get lost and decide to torch the Buncefield oil depot a couple of years ago?

Said now to be a warehouse by the bus garage in Waterden Rd, Stratford. No reports of injuries.

Just wanna know WHATS burning now, breathing and all, considering it all heading over South London.
