As you may have heard, there’s a huge fire at an oil depot in southern Britain that’s been burning for three days. I became aware of it because one of our clients is headquartered in Hemel Hempstead. I went looking for photos on Flickr, and found some great ones from Will Rise (that’s one of his to the left) and r12a.
The British Labour party’s web site was destroyed in the explosion too.
The hosting company (Northgate) was next to the terminal. Currently the Labour site is a single page and has been like that since Sunday. http://www.labour.org.uk/
I work with the web dev agency that created the site. Looks like they will be busy building another. Strange that Northgate don’t appear to have backup arrangements.
