lolsad to see, and there will be a few tight sphincters around that area tonight as some people start wondering if they were the last gsr in there.
I hope this isnt down to another inexperienced engineer, sad for the poor families.
People hurt in gas blast | Newark Advertiser"Me and another guy ran over there and number 28 was just a pile of rubble.
"I've never seen anything like it in my life. It was carnage, devastation.
"There was a guy there and I asked him whose house it was and he said 'mine' and there were people still inside.
"He'd been pulled out from under a beam. He was covered in dust and had blood coming from his eyes.
"We climbed the rubble but there was a risk of the rubble collapsing into the cellar and then the whole thing caught fire.
"We had to withdraw, then the first of the emergency services arrived.
"They were saying there was one in the loft and one in the cellar. If there was anyone in the loft - well they're gone.
Newark gas explosion: Retired company director and daughter-in-law killed as it's revealed baby was pulled from rubble | Mail OnlineThe councillor said: ‘Les told me he was going around to help install some new central heating radiators. There is talk of a boiler exploding but there wasn’t one at the house.
‘Les told me they were going to get the radiators sorted and then call a plumber in to fit a boiler.’
Councillor Isard added: ‘I don’t know what has happened. Les was competent at DIY - he’d fitted radiators before - but he wouldn’t have had a blow lamp or been messing about with the gas supply. ‘
probably totally unrelated miss marple and i would remove your post if you did imagine you were innocently working there and your name got bandied aboutI saw a plumbing & heating van on bbc news, it looked liked it must have been there at time of explosion, because the area was all boarded off! It had a gas safe logo on it too! I won't put the company on here, because that would wrong.
Sure you're not mistaking it for the National Grid van that was there?I saw a plumbing & heating van on bbc news, it looked liked it must have been there at time of explosion, because the area was all boarded off! It had a gas safe logo on it too! I won't put the company on here, because that would wrong.
but thats next door though?sad fact of this is 2 people died and it was totally preventable
If they can't get their hands on the appropriate fittings they'll just turn to gaffer tape and god knows what else.
If that were to happen, it would make it obvious to investigators that the last person at the scene was at the very least incompetent and most likely DIY / friend helping friend etc.
Sad that it takes the loss of two lives to prove a point.
It's also people's ego's. Having a big ego when it comes to DIY gas work kills.This is when gas safe ,hse and the local mp's should be putting pressure on diy stores and merchants for encouraging diy gas works .
This will happen again at some point and thi doesnt even show the 200,000 dodgy ,spilling appliances fitted around the country .
This explosion just doesnt effect the immediate family but also all the nearby neighbours who have had the family homes ruined .
i dont work on my car brakes for obvious reasons so why the hell do people feel the need to do diy gas works just to save few pounds .
If it is diy which it looks like then just to save £300 ended up costing the ultimate !!!
On the news only minutes ago it was stated;
"The domestic gas supply to the destroyed property was NOT THE CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION".
boiler could have explodedSeriously? What else sounds like a gas explosion, looks like a gas explosion and destroys a house like a gas explosion?
