A BBC News website reader sent this photo of crowds watching the incident.

Andrew Hepburn: "There was a thunderous eruption noise, and then a wall of dust. People came running out of the streets covered in debris ...

Initially it was sheer panic, people running in every direction, people shouting about a explosion and some about a bomb. But it didn't take long for the emergency services to arrive ...

You could make out cars that had slewed across the street and been abandoned, and cars up to two blocks away had a film of dust."
