Explosion at LPL

Whilst waiting on the apron at LPL last night, 2100z, I witnessed an explosion.
It appears that a gas bottle went off injuring three people, two quite badly. It certainly shook the airplane and everyone on board.
A Pilot called the Airport fire services and the local lads also turned up. Quite a comotion with easyJet, Britannia and Ryan Air all affected by the temporary reduction if Fire cover.

Apparently it was an oxygen cylinder and it went off outside Emerald offices. Two staff were treated for shock and all services resumed as normal by 2200z.
