As luck would have it I was attending to the Apprentice Longhair at one of her extreme sports in Theesecombe when the news about the Gas Pipe Explosion at the Port Elizabeth main train station broke.
Luckily only three people were injured in the blast, the effects of which seem to have been neatly absorbed by a large bus which must have shielded many more from injury or possibly even death.
As further luck would have it my mate, Anton at NSA Burglar Alarms was on the e-mail list of images sent out by an as yet unknown person right after the blast and Anton kindly forwarded them to me for YOUR titillation and edification.
If you recognise these images please let me know whom to credit.

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth.
Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
