Didn't hear anything in Cardiff Bay/Penarth area so can't have been much of an 'explosion' ? Did anyone else hear it ?

It was heard half a mile away, however it doesn't matter how big the 'explosion' as you put it, the fact of the matter is that there are still two people missing and 5 in hospital

Sorry the wording was 'explosion' so I questioned the wording so theres nothing wrong with that. Cardiff Bay is less then half a mile away and it wasn't heard so were you are getting your info from I don't know

I had my info from a comment from St. John's ambulance centre who reported hearing it half a mile away

A poster on Mike Morris's board has recently posted that his nephew was a fatality. Very sad news and my condolences to any friends and family of the deceased.

Sad day indeed for all those involved, nobody should go to work and not return to their families. I've worked at Celsa and currently work at tata, such incidents like this really hit home.

Thoughts with friends family of all those involved. Let's hope the others get well soon

Both confirmed dead

RIP lads
