Hertfordshire,UK

At the Buncefield oil depot a fire has broke out in the morning.
The plant had about 60,000,000 imperial gallons of oil which
is highly explosive, then after valiant efforts from the fire department
a series of explosions which measured around 2.4 on the Richter Scale sent fire balls the size of
Lorry's into the air and sent shock waves which destroyed buildings near the plant.

The smoke was intense and could of posed a respiratory irritant which left the environmental agency in charge of cleanup.

Explosions were heard as far as Holland, someone living in the countryside said it was powerful enough to shake a door open, when they felt it they thought it was a boiler explosion in their home.

Fire officials said they had to let the fire burn itself out, when the Armageddon ended 45 were injured, 2 were seriously injured but were not life threatening injuries.

Families which had damaged property were given up to 1 billion pounds.
