A large fire ripped through a railway arch in Elephant and Castle, south London, causing an explosion and sending plumes of black smoke into the sky. Remarkably, only two people were injured. Footage of the scene showed a large explosion from an auto repair shop located in one of the railway arches, as well as thick smoke billowing from the area. The London Fire Brigade said 10 fire engines and 70 firefighters were tackling the blaze which raced through three commercial units, causing trains to be diverted — Guardian
