Hemel oil fire: structural damage

MM · 2005-12-12T15:32:40+00:00

Hundred of people are reporting that their houses shook within quite awide radius of Buncefield.When a house shakes like that, is there no structural damage done? Ishould have thought that the entire structure must be weakenedsomewhat, even if far enough from the blast for no windows to be blownout. One Surrey contributor to the BBC Have Your Say forum said thatshe found cracks in the walls the next morning. Insurance claimsfollowing this event are likely to be huge.MM
