A wedding photographer in Essex narrowly escaped death when a massive explosion rocked an industrial estate, sending debris raining down and blowing him back against his studio door. The blast, caused by a fertilizer unit detonating, sent shockwaves through the area, with over 100 firefighters rushing to the scene and 20 injured—though all have since been released. The photographer, who had only returned to grab equipment, credits dropping the item he was carrying as the reason he survived. His studio roof collapsed, but he made it to his van and was later helped by his assistant to fulfill a wedding booking the next day. Fire chiefs called it one of the most intense incidents they’ve faced, and while investigations continue, public health officials say the risk from smoke and debris is low. He’s calling his survival a miracle.
