Explosion

I'll catch up a couple of photos but I had to post this rather dramatic incident that happened a few hundred yards from our home!  Not only that, this was the hotel which houses a Japanese restaurant we dined at just before Christmas with Jo and had booked for this Friday for L's birthday.  Thankfully, it wasn't fatal and only 20 people were injured, though one is critical.  This was apparently caused by a gas leak, but you can see from the photos that it caused extensive damage.  Only on Saturday L and I walked down that pavement in the main photo!  Extra is street level photo of the entrance where we normally enter the restaurant.
