Reports of an explosion at Parsons Green underground station

[Ricster]

If there was a big fireball like suggested, surely there would be signs of that in the carriage. Other than bit of smoke and flames, no signs in that carriage of an explosion.

Daily Mail have a pic of a man with burns on forehead and burnt hair. I wont put the link up to them though

Media being their usual scummy twats. Check the replies to the tweet.

The stupid replies are from media haters. All the journalists are doing is their job.

Hardly any wished him well and were more interested in getting their scoop. Read again.

And now for the stupid? Lets look at a bomb that still on fire through a glass window

i would not be standing anywhere near that, let alone filming!

Seen the photos, doesn't look like a major fireball as suggested. Is it possible to be caused by a malfunctioning device such as an e-cig or mobile? Something Lithium battery?

Edit: Never mind what I said, so it looks like its a tub in a bag. Looks like home improvement material.

i'm not saying this was or wasn't an attempted bomb, but paint stored in a bag can explode, if exposed suddenly to air and a spark (e.g. someone off to do some painting has a quick check they've got the right colour and the static sets off the release of paint fumes).

edit; if there are wires then yeah, it's probably sinister

Kinda is their job though innit mate, and to be fair well wishing or not, the requests for interviews/info seem pretty respectful in their tone.

Have you seen the wires protruding from the bag!!

There is a pic on here of the smoking bucket with what looks like wires coming out of it. I'm no expert, but it does look like something more ominous than a device like an ecig.

Is this a Clarkie how many people keep how many home improvement materials have electric wires coming out of the tub.

Ok I was just about to comment Wrighty Wrexham about the wires. If true, then it does seem more ominous. If there is information that the bag was left unattended, then it's going to start ticking the boxes.
