‘I was in bed and heard this very loud bang’

A MAN living in the shadow of the Corden plant spoke of his concerns after his home was rocked by the fatal explosion yesterday.

Japanese national Kyosuke Ogino, who works for a computer company in Little Island, lives in a cottage just across the road from the front gate of the chemical plant.

The badly damaged production facility — the seat of the explosion — is just a few hundred yards from his front door.
