There's a massive cloud of smoke near my apartment, and helicopters flying all over the sky. I can hear ambulances and fire engines... but I can't find anything on the news or on TV about what's going on!

Surely if there'd been an explosion, or crash, I would have heard it?

Wow, that's so bizarre. I went running along the Grand Union Canal this morning at about 10am, and could see all the black smoke billowing up in the distance. I thought Blimey, something's on fire, and from the location of other landmark buildings (well, that funny shaped tower block at the top of Ladbroke Grove) I guessed that it was somewhere roughly around Westbourne Park.

Then I looked on the news when I got home and there was nothing. But I caught the Hamersmith and City Line at about noon, and the train didn't stop at Westbourne Park station (without any explanation).

Aha! All is revealed!

Good thing nobody got hurt.
