That's the bit where everyone stands around watching on BBC News 24, something that is happening in the next street Top of London building collapses.
Traffic is being diverted and the blogger in me thinks - is there scope for blogging this. To which I rapidly answer, no. I did watch a red Virgin logoed helichopper descend into the street - air ambulance? - but helichoppers are hardly rare round these parts. One colleague says "Does it affect my train? If it doesn't affect my train I don't want to know, it's all me me me."
The need to be contributing UGC (User Generated Content) probably hampers any search and rescue operation; far better photos will be taken by professional photographers with proper kit and Press credentials than by some passing commuter with a mobile phone. I hope there are no serious casualties.
I'm afraid I didn't even hear an explosion. I was on the phone to a friend at the time.
I shall be avoiding the site by catching a bus, exactly as planned, along the river. Not literally along the river, of course, they don't accept Oysters on Ducks.
