Electrical plus liquid to me says PCBs (highly polluting transformer oil).
Thats bollocks, sorry. I watched it. 'Electrical fault'?
Why then did about 20 cops and firefighters spend hours surrounding a steaming, leaking suitcase?

Going past on the bus this morning I could just see a few lifted paving stones and some EDF Energy barriers in a small area between Woolies and Dex, and everyone else going about their daily business. No workmen in attendance.
So either it was an electrical fault and there just happened to be a bag there, or it's all an elaborate conspiracy

Yeh, I'm confused... They drilled ALL night last night. Pneumatic drills. I havent slept a wink..
It's bizarre alright. There was definitely a smoking bag down there which was being poked and prodded but fuck knows what happened, no idea why EDF would need to be drilling all night like that. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

Have you spoken to the duty sargeant at your local station, Gabi, to gain some clarrification over what you observed?
Just a thought.

A manhole cover outside Woolies flew up into the air. It's rectangular and has paving set into the top of it, so it would have looked a bit like a suitcase. When I came past a couple of blokes in overalls had refitted it. There was nothing else to be seen apart from some mud, and two coppers keeping people out of a taped off area of pavement. I asked one of the blokes what had caused it and he said "dunno...Derren Brown?"

that's pretty funny actually

The manhole cover thing was over 6 inches thick and took two men to lift it - must have been one hell of a bang to throw it in the air, so your b*mb suspicions don't seem unreasonable. Rather alarming that random explosions can happen under our feet. Maybe it was a gas leak? Can't imagine an electrical explosion being so powerful.

They can be - dont forget the nature of the pipes and tubes underground will have the same effect as a gun barrel in terms of chanelling the explosion in a certain direction.

He took something... maybe a piece of it. I dunno
they're obviously keeping something from us...
Hot news from a hole in the ground. The thing that exploded was a junction box. Here's its replacement:
The box is where four of these 11,000 volt cables meet:
The cover which flew in the air is at the bottom of the middle pile:
The gentlemen in the hole say these explosions happen "every time it rains" and that only one pedestrian has ever been injured.

Could be worse - a few years ago in New York there was a serious issue with Con Ed the electricity supplier, as a substantial proportion of the manhole covers were found to be connected to live rather than earthed!
