Film set explosion causes blaze opposite O2 arena

A "controlled explosion" on a London film set sparked a fire that destroyed a van and damaged two other vehicles near the O2 arena.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said they had sent 25 firefighters and four fire engines to the scene, near Dock Road and Trinity Buoy Wharf in Silvertown, at 7.51pm on Saturday.
Images showed a burning red lorry with the words "BBC World News" emblazoned on its trailer.
But BBC News has confirmed there was no BBC News involvement in the event.
Terrified residents posted on social media site X about the noise and smoke billowing across the Thames towards the venue - before police said the incident was part of pre-planned filming.
"There is no risk to the public", the Metropolitan Police said of the blaze at an open-air yard across the river from the venue.
The controlled explosion spread and became out of control, the LFB said in a statement.
