A terrified resident has caught on camera the moment a huge 'explosion' appeared in the sky over the Tata steelworks plant in Port Talbot during the weekend. Those living in nearby streets spoke of seeing a towering column of flame and billowing black smoke above the site on Sunday evening (October 2).
One local, who rushed out of his home and began taking pictures, told of his immediate concern for his "family and friends" who work at the site. "At first I thought it was a gas explosion as the street I live is currently being dug up to allow work on the main gas pipe," he said.
"Then my daughter came running into the house when she saw the flames coming from the furnace. We have a lot of family and friends working there so we were very concerned."
