i've got a sneaky feeling that it was caused by either an oxygen tank, or a tin of deodorant in the luggage hold just beneath the wing.

I can see it now.....

Before entering an arcade......

1. No cigarette lighters.
2. No liquids.
3. 5kg hand luggage maximum.
4. No dairy products.

I blame muslim extremists.

I saw smoke coming out of the West tower at 6:55am as I drove past on my way to work. Two fire engines were there but the front gates were locked, so they couldn't get in. By the time I got to Junction 29 on the M4 it was all over the news and I could see the smoke in the sky.

I can see the pier now from my balcony. I'll take some pictures later and put them up. Heartbreaking to see what the fire has reduced it to, and so quickly aswell. :(
Watch out! There's a SIG thief about...

The pier originally opened in 1904, it was then destroyed by a fire in 1930.

might be same what happened last time

who knows might be another NEW Pier soon

The steel on the pier is still in good condition so they can repair it and rebuild it. I was there the day before. It wasn't me honest.
