The Shoreham aircraft show was the place where i think a or two plane crashed - this time there's been a fire at a power plant. Which reminds me of EU theory, power plants, discharges etc.. this could be mundane but for the record, and if any better articles come out i'll post here.

From a few hours ago:

Firefighters have been called to reports of an explosion at Shoreham Power station. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said it had received several calls about a possible explosion of one of the transformers at the site shortly after 1pm today. Witness Anil Mistry said: “I was just passing the station when on the left hand side I suddenly saw this incredibly intense bright light and then smoke. “Then another part of the power station started giving out a lot of smoke and steam. “At that point I decided to leave because I thought it would be better to keep my distance just in case.” A fire service spokesman said one of the station’s transformers had blown out which had caused a small fire. When crews arrived the fire was already out. They checked the scene to make sure the area was safe and have now left the site.
