Many houses have been damaged, with some reporting feeling effects from the explosion as far away as Oxfordshire, while it was heard in Surrey and Norfolk.
Norfolk is in the U.S. sheesh thats loud.Report, edit, etc...Posted by Voyager7456(MM) on 2005-12-11 at 10:36:12
There's also a Norfolk in the UK. 
If you could hear it from as far away as the US, the noise would have been enough to kill people close to the blast. But wow, they could hear it in France and the Netherlands. That's one loud explosion.

Yeah those flames pwn, but this is probably going to increase the world-wide demand for oil, jeeze, I feel sorry for all those SUV diehards out there.

Why? They made the choice to drive giant boxes on wheels that get 8 miles per gallon. But yeah, this will have a further impact on oil prices/availability, though perhaps not as significant as the damage done to the Gulf of Mexico oil rigs.
Also, do you even know who Dissection are? (Referring to your/my avatar)
