Four explosions went off last night at the Southgate Centre in Bath, UK. It is believed that noone was injured in the explostions, which occured on the third floor of a three story building site. The mall was being constructed and was to open next year.

Hundreds of people were evacuated from a city centre yesterday after blasts at a shopping centre building site.

Flames shot 50ft and black smoke filled the sky.

Shoppers and office workers fled and train and bus stations were closed after four explosions, thought to be gas canisters ignited during asphalting work.

Mum-of-three Samantha said: "The fire stretched to the clouds as far as I could see - and a massive black cloud hung over the city centre.

"The children were crying and were so scared. No one knew what was going on.

"People were petrified after hearing all the fire engines. All I wanted to do was to get my babies home."
