Apparently happened near Shepperton, UK.
Looks like no-one was seriously injured......I don't think at least six radiators will go again though!

you sort of want to laugh your a--e off, but then you also sort of want to cry a bit too. Plus, you don't want to send out too much bad karma by laughing your a--e off.
