I have been reflecting a lot today about my previous comments, and would like to apologise to everyone for such a crass and hasty response.

I am a bit pissed off with myself because i try not to be the bloke with the sarky comment in real life.

I get what he means - it's better to think some would-be terrorists were messing about with bombs and blew themselves up, rather than innocent people dying from a gas explosion.

You'd rather think it was a terrorist than an unfortunate accident?

Yeah, ok.

Ok so I live in Hinckley, a town just down the road from Leicester (Hense Hinckley Road where the incident took place) and I have a close friend who's Dad is a Fireman. I just wanted to share this Facebook post from his wife because I believe what this guy has done has been incredible and commendable, and I'm glad to see people from the Hinckley area working to rebuild our community here in Leicester.

Yeah I'm a few miles away from where this happened... I don't know any of the people missing/feared dead but it's obviously a terrible thing to have happened
