Media being very quiet about the cause

I would be my last pound it was an electric charging point thats exploded

If it is they will never admit it

I saw the photo of the building - looked like a pretty fucking big explosion, and the blast wave took out windows nearby. I'd strongly suspect a gas leak, though a charging point could have been what sparked it.

Didnt look like any fire damage although people supposedly treated for burns
You usually get fire damage if its gas.

Doesn't look to be any fire damage , I'd of expected some had it been a gas leak.
Something a bit odd or they're not saying about what was the cause.

Quite a few are saying it was a bomb !!
Haven't seen much about the 'Official' cause ?

Imagine the impact on the electric car industry if these charging points were deemed a risk

Think about the amount of power that needs to be generated to replenish a car battery in the same amount of time it takes to fill a tank of petrol.

They will never admit it was a battery charger.

Very true - just like so many things they cover up & won't admit.

I'm not sure that's the right way around. With gas leaking out, you end up with a large volume of combustible vapor mixed with air (gas cloud), and when that's ignited, usually through turning on a light-switch, the resulting shock wave is powerful as hell - taking off doors, ceilings, etc. Often you get secondary fires breaking out (especially if it was from petrol fumes), but not always.

Gas was a popular way for thieves to blow apart bank machines because you just fill the space with it, ignite it remotely (unless you have a death wish), and then the force blows apart the safe and they run off with the cash.

With an electric charging point, you'd assume a lot more fire damage as it would likely have burned to deflagration - meaning, a fire broke out first and then the resulting gases from it built up so much in a confined area that an explosion occurred.

Investigators would be able to determine quite quickly if it was a bombing - the evidence would be obvious (crater size, types of materials, presence of certain residues, etc.).

TLDR: fuck knows, but I doubt there's anything suspicious going on. Impossible to really tell until more info is released, though.

Awful, sad, and tragic.
