    looks like oil / chemical related from the smoke, meant to be a warehouse fire. smoke getting worse and worse.

    thats another £500m costs added onto the Olympic budget.

    Bet the government and Rothko did it on purpose to hide the fact that we need to spend more money.

    sounds like its on an industrial site on the verge of the Olypic Village, possibly a bus garage, which would explain the density of the smoke, ie./ diesel

    If it's waterden road, it's on the olympic site and could well be the fuel tanks at one of the bus garages...

    Sky News are getting some real East End thicko's on there. The latest one:

    "they're saying its not a terrorist attack yeah, but I dont believe that yeah"
