Another explosion in London on Pimlico Road is reported in London this time. The Health and Safety Executive are looking into the explosion believed to be caused by a fault on the underground electricity network.
'UK Power Networks engineers rerouted supplies to 861 customers within ten minutes and all supplies were reconnected by 1.55pm.'
"Safety is our top priority and the cause of this incident is being investigated. We apologise to customers for the inconvenience caused by the power cut and our staff restored all supplies as quickly as safely possible."
A National Grid spokesman said the explosion was not gas-related.
London Fire Brigade said such explosions were 'not completely unheard of' and often related to electrical cables. A similar blast was caught on CCTV in the same area in 2009 when an electrical cable fault caused a small explosion during morning rush hour on Vauxhall Bridge Road. Nobody was hurt.
The camera just happened to be recording this and a woman's voice can be heard saying 'Oh my God' - sharing the video and then to see what else comes to light from the signs around. Googlemaps allow a close up to see the area.
