Quotes

...Speaking at the scene, the officer said: "The one line of inquiry we have been talking about is that potentially someone from the family was doing some DIY in the basement but that's just one line of inquiry. We must keep an open mind."
...how a woman passed a two-month-old baby to him through the front window of the neighbouring house in the aftermath of the blast, Mr Fleming said: "The mother was very concerned about the baby, because it was very small. "The three people that I came across were in complete and utter shock. "They just did not know what was going on. "The main house is non-existent, literally the whole roof collapsed within a split second and it tore down half of another building with it." Simon Hunter, who lives nearby, told ITV's Daybreak: "It was just a massive crash, like a big explosion. "We had just come in from the garden and there was a massive explosion. "The house shook, I looked at my wife and it was just sheer terror, we didn't know what was going on. "My initial reaction was that a train had derailed. "Then I saw the house with plumes of smoke everywhere. It was just carnage, it was unbelievable." Superintendent Mike Manley, of Nottinghamshire Police, described the blast as a "distressing tragedy". The officer said: "We are supporting the families, the neighbours and others who have been displaced by this incident." Group manager Bryn Coleman, of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, said the man's body was found between the basement and ground floor of the premises in the early hours."
"We will be praying especially for the family of the bereaved and the injured and our clergy and local churches are already offering support and practical help to those who have been affected."
