Unisol Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 It's definately Union Carbide. The first started around 7pm and by 7:45 the largest section was completely destroyed. We stood and watched the huge roof sections collapse. 2/3 quite large explosions went off too. Seems rather fishy after the Fletchers fire and now this.

Grissom Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The following news report says it used to be a UC plant. Don't get in touch with the Bhopal lawyers just yet =========== Fire crews battle warehouse blaze About 40 firefighters are tackling a major fire at a warehouse in Sheffield. The warehouse, on Claywheels Lane, at Wadsley Bridge, is thought to contain paper products including tissue and toilet paper, police said. People living nearby have been advised to keep their doors and windows closed overnight as a precaution. The building, which was once a Union Carbide chemical plant, was one of several sites earmarked by Sheffield Council for possible redevelopment. A police spokesman said the cause of the fire was not yet known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
