    Had a good view of it from the building I work in (some of us don't go out for coffee). Here is a good video of it from TV3:

    Cool vid thanks et al. I work in the commarts building where TV 3 and various radio stations are based, they were all running around with video camera's etc. Shouldve asked them what had happened so I could've gone and had a looksie! Im guessing that there were no gas pipes nearby?!

    And you got five notes in to "Stairway to Heaven" and he said "No! no! no! Not fucking that! They always play that!". Then time stood still while the devil ate your soul and that's how you got to be in the IT industry.

    No? That's what happened to me.

    The second pic has the woman (?) taking a pic which can seen in the cellphone pic in a previous post. Nice.

    She clearly didn't have any concerns that there might have been a gas mains nearby....can't say I'd have been keen to stand around that close gawking

    Our IT crew loved the piccies too - thanks for posting that up whoever you were.
