Watching the fire in Glasgow, it looks as though there is an LPG tank in the back, with a jet of flame roaring out from it. I notice the firemen are very ineffectual in getting the water onto the right place. They squirted it all over the place and didn't get it right in the windows onto the fire source. Nor were they effective in extinguishing the building fire. Not that they could extinguish the LPG jet, but they could extinguish the rest. 80% of the water was missing. While the criminals might have thought of it as a bomb, it was not. Burning LPG, petrol and plastics just make a lot of heat over a short time. They don't cause a blast, bang, and knock things over. Right now Fox News said "Massive explosion" which is ridiculous. It's a fire. NOT an explosion. Mqurice
