Fire At London's Olympic 2012 site


On Monday Morning on a visit to the Photographers Gallery i noticed a thick black cloud of smoke spreading across the clear blue sky's of London. Not sure what it was to be from a terror attack or an accident i thought it was interesting to post on my blog in the change it had on the London Skyline.

More than 75 firefighters tackled the blaze as 50ft (15m) flames engulfed the building in Waterden Road, Hackney Wick at about 1200 GMT on Monday.

Black smoke could be seen across the skyline and the Fire Brigade received more than 150 calls from the public.

Rail services were suspended between Dalston Kingsland and Stratford but roads in the area remained open.

The warehouse is on the western edge of the proposed site of the Olympic Village and was due to be demolished on Monday.
