I went to rubber neck from the Ringmer Road end of Durrington High school. According to the plod on duty at the gate,the first attemted explosion to bring down the crane didn't work. The second was a success. The jib of the crane disapeared out of sight followed by the loudest crunching of metal...
Around 15 minutes ago the whole house shook from what appeared a gigantic explosion. Every curtain in the street was twitching! A friend in the Durrington area said his house also shook. Anyone in that area any idea what it was?
