After the A1GP we went to Exchange Square to see some more of the Sky festival, and were greeted by a pall of black smoke on the skyline behind Darth Vader and the stormtroopers.
An HGV had exploded in Salford and it and a building were ablaze. We spent a long time in Next waiting for their customer service to get their act together and by the time we left the smoke was no longer there.
Technorati tag: Manchester, Fire
The ‘missus’ and I went out in the car from the Quays towards the Blaze (ooh that rhymes) but the coppers were everywhere closing off roads!
Madness!
“Look after ya HGV for ya mister?”
