Massive London Explosion Sends People Into Panic, Preplanned Fire Got Out of Control

A huge fireball just exploded in East London … but, cops are telling people not to worry — ’cause it’s all just movie magic.

Here’s the deal … a few hours ago, a massive explosion rocked Londontown — drawing eyes and phone cameras from around the city capturing the wild scene.

The huge black smoke and bright orange flames caught a lot of people’s attention … and, they took to X to alert police, news agencies and other Londoners to what they saw.

Nothing to worry about though, cops released a statement to the public saying they knew about the explosion … which was totally preplanned as part of filming in the neighborhood, and did not pose a risk to the public.

The London Fire Brigade had a slightly less rosy view of the situation … admitting the explosion was preplanned for the filming — but, it did get a little out of hand.

That said, LFB says they worked quickly to put the fire out and would remain on-site through the evening to keep an eye on the situation.
