Soho is so hot right now – huge fire in Soho, London

Friday, July 10th, 2009 at 5:00 pm

I just thought my laptop was broken as it was smelling of burning plastic in the office, but it turned out to be a massive fire some streets down in Soho, London (that is not Soho,NYC).

I am very impressed with the job the firefighters have done to stop the fire from spreading. It also shows once again that it is great to have a camera and a fast internet connection handy. As the above video and all the other photos of the Soho fire I’ve taken are creative commons, the Metro newspaper used them on their site.
