A large explosion occurred near the O2 Arena. The culprit of the incident was identified as 38-year-old film director Jacky Jahj, who had previously been convicted of child abuse.
Jahj filled an old BBC truck and some vehicles with explosives during a film shoot. He set off the explosion while filming naked, and the fire got out of control. The incident took place in the Silvertown area of London.
The explosion, which took place on Saturday, caused great panic among the residents of the area. Hundreds of people called emergency services, suspecting a terrorist attack. The flames and smoke from the explosion could be seen from miles away.
Jahj's past is quite dark. In 2016, he was sentenced to four years in prison for sexually abusing two 15-year-old children. Following this latest incident, about 70 crew members left the film project called "Project Dover."
The explosion was carried out using gunpowder and detonation fuses. The roof of a police minibus was thrown 15 meters into the air. Videos shared on social media showed Jahj walking naked at the scene of the fire.
The incident caused great anger among the local residents. The residents described the explosion as a "bomb" and an "earthquake." Except for a small announcement on the Greenwich Council's Facebook page, there was no warning to the public about the film shoot.
Following the explosions, London City Airport was temporarily closed, and more than 90 calls were made to emergency services. The police confirmed that the incident was a pre-planned film shoot but admitted that the information provided was insufficient.
London Fire Brigade sent four vehicles and 25 personnel to the scene. A minibus was completely burned, and a car and a truck were damaged. There were no reported injuries.
