Leicester corner shop blast

Would petrol cause that type of destruction alone? If so must have been more than the typical few litres splashed about the place.
Also if the store was open at the time how did the shop assistant killed in the blast not see/smell what was going on and escape with the alleged perps, one reported to be her boyfriend? Maybe he wanted shut of her as well?Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment

And the combustion doesn't have to be that confined to build up a critical pressure - A room with the doors and windows closed, or even petrol burning in a big pile of brushwood, can be enough.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I seem to recall one side or another in that former Yugoslavian ethnic cleansing business developing a way to prevent people returning to their houses after they'd been thrown out. It involved dousing the upstairs carpets/flooring with petrol, and leaving a burning candle on the lower floor. Eventually the fumes would ignite and the whole house explode - roof blown off, walls blown out type of explosion. That way, the villians could move on to the next village to carry on their persecution.
Can't find a linky to corroborate this story though.Comment
