Exploding fucking pavements!


London exploding pavements surge prompts death fears

Londoners are at risk of being killed in one of the increasing number of pavement explosions in the capital, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) fears.

Figures obtained by BBC London show reported incidents of underground explosions more than tripled between 2011 and 2012.

In 2010, there were 12 underground explosions reported to the HSE.

Although that fell to eight in 2011, last year the figure jumped to 29. So far this year, there have been 12 blasts.

UK Power Networks, which distributes electricity in London, says it has increased inspections and is making a significant investment in testing underground equipment.

I'd not heard of this before! :O

Wonder why it's just in London. Or maybe it's in other spots too that I've just missed hearing about?

By coincidence, I've been reading of quite a few explosions in the States of late, with transformers being to blame - dunno if there's a connection with water damage after the floods.

There have been a lot of things blowing up so far this year. But not one of them's been a politician.

In other words the failing substructure is now costing more due to clear up costs from blasts than it would to repair and the shareholders demand answers/profit!

That's because politicians never do anything useful. :)

The streets of London are meant to paved with gold, not booby-trapped paving slabs. :O

Ya know how you go to a place and it feels really familiar... well I get that from London. It's a strong feeling too. It even smells familiar.

If there is such a thing, then I must have lived there in past lives :)

I like the natural history museum, but I detest London. Not sure why, but it makes me feel really uncomfortable being there & I hate the tubes. If I'd been left to my own devices I'd have been permanently lost there.

It was great when I used to live up the track from London. 30 - 40 mins by train. My son was younger and it was a cheap-ish day out to the Transport Museum, Natural History Museum etc. We loved the HMS Belfast, it's an old war ship and you can go below deck. It's quite spooky. You can imagine the people huddled down there shitting their kecks during a ship fight (or whatever the proper name is).

I believe 'shitting their keks' is the correct terminology. :thumbup: :D
