Motorhome Explodes

This £400,000 luxury motorhome was destroyed in a 'huge fireball' when an on board gas canister exploded while the owner's family slept just a few yards away.
The plush Hymer van had been parked outside the family home in Oswestry, Shropshire when it went up in flames shortly after 4.50am today, causing one of two gas canisters on board to explode.
The force of the blast, likened to a bomb, sent the canister hurtling into the air before it landed 100m away down the street, while the vehicle was completely destroyed in the blaze.

Also the most expensive Hymer known.

he he

I'm no fan of the DM but in the headline they state 40K. I notice too that they went to the trouble of looking up the house on streetview and bagged themselves a nice picture of the camper in rather better condition.

Just shows you. Anything semi-notable happen in your life and publishing outlets like this will trawl Social Media and other outlets to publish whatever they can about you.

Yep, they are *(^&*&^*(( scum of the earth. It pays massively to take great heed of privacy settings on social media, best option don't use it.

Gathering information from someone's social media page and making it public is nearly as bad as the phone hacking scandal.

Does anyone still buy a newspaper? haven't bought one in years and never will. I don't even read their websites, I got sent that link.

Rant over

Wonder how far up the road the Smart car landed!

Good job no one was sleeping in it or they would have thought the Second Coming had arrived. It doesn't bear thinking about if some one had been in it.
