London explosion: fireball panic as cops reveal shocking reason
A massive fireball just erupted in east london, causing widespread panic. but, according to the police, there’s no need for concern—it’s all part of a movie shoot.
here’s what happened: just hours ago, a large explosion shook parts of london, drawing attention from across the city as people captured the dramatic scene on their phones.
the sight of thick black smoke and intense orange flames had many londoners alarmed. social media was flooded with posts, with people alerting police, news outlets, and fellow residents about what they witnessed.
however, police quickly released a statement reassuring the public. they confirmed that the explosion was entirely planned as part of a movie production and posed no danger.
the london fire brigade, though, offered a slightly different perspective. they acknowledged that while the explosion was planned, it did get somewhat out of control.
nonetheless, the fire brigade acted swiftly to extinguish the flames and will remain on-site throughout the evening to monitor the situation.
it’s unclear why so many residents were caught off guard by the prearranged blast, but the film’s producers will undoubtedly be hoping that their movie is worth the commotion it caused!
