Massive explosion at Applegreen in Creeslough

Looks like a gas explosion from one of the apartments ??

Doesn't look good at all...

Just counting the cars in the forecourt. I’d say there was a good few people in the shop, outside and in cars. Plus staff.

Some explosion based off that photo with blocks thrown all over.

Looks bad. Hospital is over run apparently. Hearing of multiple deaths but best to wait for official statements

Seems to be a large steel girder that held ok, so hopefully no debris through ceilings. People in the apartments and filling cars you'd be worried about. Can only hope for the best.

Media are as bad as that fool madigan

All with screaming headlines that there has been an explosion at a petrol station.

The explosion (going by every photo) is very much in an apartment.

There is a fuel forecourt in the same complex and looks like the pumps are standing, and signage still lighting.

But I suppose "explosion at apartment over a shop" is not going to get as many clicks as "petrol station explodes"

Breaking (geography) news. Donegal is in Ulster.

It looks like an explosion in apartments to me.

There's a fuel station in front of them that has been damaged by debris.

I see sinn fein's doherty has already got the "pensioners and children" angle in on his statement to try and get up the publicity ranking.

I hope that there are no fatalities and injuries are not as bad as the pictures suggest they could be.

Thankfully the indo has very much toned down its sensationalist headline now.

They’re still referring to fears of multiple fatalities. Truly awful. I know Creeslough a bit, a lovely small village. One can only imagine the generational devastation this will cause

All I could think when I heard the time of the explosion was children out of school. I hope that there are no fatalities or serious injuries, especially little kids. It’s awful to look at, God help them all, including the emergency services, that is an awful situation for everyone involved. Pierce Doherty said a few times it was a dark day for Creeslough, so make of that what you will.
