    One dead, several injured, every window of the drill hall shattered as well as surrounding building. Also one block of flats has had its roof collapse..

    The explosion could be heard all over the western suburbs.

    I hope all woofers and others in the Footscray area are ok.

    You never know.

    I was working in the city a few streets away from the Lindt cafe a bit over a year ago. That was an interesting day....

    A gas tank in the back of a rubbish truck exploded..driver killed, seems a few went to hospital but all ok.
    Power lines down, one witness said the truck clipped the power line, maybe that's what caused the tank to explode.
    Bring back the biff

    There were news & police helicopters hovering over our house when we got home at 1:00pm, we wondered what had happened.

    Yep. I was out on the front step having a dart when the truck hit. The reverb hit back from three directions, one after the other. It was amazing.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Now there are news helicopters fighting for pole positions over the wreckage. Stay classy media.
