I think you are at Melton Jackie so you have missed it.Near enough at noon there was two God Almighty explosions and it seems that the Immingham Power Station has gone wrong some whereThere is a very dense cloud of smoke over that way No real info as yet but David Simon and Brian work close by.I am eagerly awaiting to hear if its the Biomass Unit.Will report when I find out.Had another call the oil refinery has had a explosion its across the field from Jackie's still none the wiser.It has not been on Radio Humberside yet ??? :farmer:
-
Its not at the power station its Lindsey Oil Refinery there are some pictures on "This is Grimsby.net" Looks like a good blaze Its the refinery near to Jackie's
-
Yeah I know Les sent me the pics via his phone. Spectacular eh?
Not unexpected with this hot dry weather though. :(
oh I have just read it George and have phoned Les to close all the windows etc untill we know more. Scary!
OMG!! If it is bio then my animals will be affected!!!!!
Please let me know as soon as you know George.

Its the LOR Heaters not the power station as I was told just after it happened,In your Google box type This is Grimsby .net and then click news There are a few great pics ??? :farmer:

Wow, hope everything is put o ut soon and not much damage or harm. We are near an oil refinery and power station here too, we get most of our trade via them so hope nothing happens!!!! mind you, we have loads of dust at the moment, may be to do with 2 blocks of flats they pulled down on Sunday around 4 miles away!! Keep us posted WIzard, Jackie? have you still not moved or have I missed a post?

Jackie lives across the field from it It has been said its the heater on the crackers thats on fire.No 2 and 3 sons both work next door thats how I found out so quick If you come quick Dad The crackers are on fire after the explosion :farmer:
-
Speaking on Jackie's behalf She is at Melton today.Les has sent her some pic's on his phone Have a look at the NK venture :wave:
-
We were in grimsby this morning george. nothing untoward happened except I am astounded that in all the town of Grimsby, apart from greggs, whose bread surely holds them open to charges of deception, There was not one bread shop.
-
There is lass but not where you were I would need to be very hungry indeed to buy anything in Greggs.I had a sausage roll bought to me by one of my so called pals after the roll I have up graded him to enemy ??? ;D ;D ;D Bloody revolting have you had one how they dare call them sausage I don't know :'( :farmer:
-
People who live in Nk are meant to have an emergency phone number so they can ring to check if any accident affects us..........But we havent got it!!!
Les is now thinking of building a 'clean' room where we can all go if there is a bio hazard, sealed windows, oxygen etc. Good idea but next he will be building a panic room lol

No statement has been issued at the moment LOR is still unsure if the 24 yr old chap was on site there at the explosion :farmer:

Very sorry indeed to have to tell you Russ a body was found late last night when it was cool enough for the Fire teams to enter :farmer:
-
yes ...it seemed like that was the only outcome...
It could have turned into something much worse , but thankfully didn't !!! , not that that will be any consolation to the mans family and friends .
cheers

The poor chap that has died has been named as 24 yrs old Robert Greenacre working for Babcock Contractors and has been working on LOR for the past 5 years according to the Telegraph It is really sad since he was an only child :( :farmer:
-
Les is going to go up to LOR tomorrow to see if there is a collection and give them some money towards a wreath or whatever. As he said it could have been Martyn, hes 24 and has worked at stallinborough and a few others.
-
Hello Jackie I see its all over bar the shouting I read the newest MP is going to ask difficult questions of LOR in the week as was done every time its had a fire or fire and explosion there in the past.There is always a danger of this and there is some very interesting stories about at the minute We will see what comes of the H&SE findings I hope the stories are not true. Are you back tomorrow? :farmer:
-
We get a lot of Babcocks men and bosses stay here, they work at the local power staion, RIP!
