Donegal Explosion
Sadly 10 people have been killed in an Explosion at a petrol station in a small village , Creeslough in Donegal last Friday. The cause of the explosion is thought to have been a gas leak or fumes from a fuel tank at the station.
Such a tragedy and it will take a long time for a close-knit community to recover from this accident.
Three children died in the blast R.I.P all those who have lost there lives.

Re: Donegal Explosion
HI James.
Yes a terrible thing to happen especially as things have settled down in Ireland. At first I thought it was the bombing starting up, then maybe someone smoking while filling up, I have seen that here with two girls that told me to eff off. Sad time for those families.

Re: Donegal Explosion
Latest is they think it came from a gas leak and not from petrol.
An Australian was amongst the dead.


Happy daze John in Oz.
