Does anyone know anything about it, the smoke is practically blocking out most of the sky. Can hear an odd explosion as well.

Hope it's nothing serious. Can't see from where I am as buildings blocking that direction. Hope it's not the airport.

Gormley does nothing to stop them yet try lighting a fire in your Garden and see what happens...
