"From our production office it's blackened the sky. There are a few sirens going off. It's blackened the sky. All you can see are the plumes of black smoke."

Does anyone else think the sky is black?

I had trouble spotting it from Liverpool St area - I thought it was just a rain cloud!

Lots of panic in Lloyds this morning.

Fire at a warehouse in Homerton, no explusions, nothing too major, just a lot of smoke

Rumours of the Sydenham mob plotting up on the DLR this morning are uncomfirmed.....

Seems to be an empty warehouse close to, but not involving the Olympic site.

I blame Red Ken ...

It was AFKA's full English breakfast/nylon pants/cotton suit combo that started it. Boom!

Henry Irving

BBC London saying disused warehouse that was due to come down in the next month or so anyway. On the Olympic site to be.

Must be near the old Hackney Dog track. Many happy hours spent there.

Maybe the owners were looking for double bubble - payment from the insurance and from the compulsory purchase?

i don't want to accuse or point fingers but:

"Currently 20 traveller families live at Waterden Crescent off Waterden Road. They are due to be moved as their site is in the Olympic Park."

Just got home from uni in commercial road. Saw it happen from the third floor, never seen smoke as thick as that. The speed it covered east london was astounding.
