Here’s the London Olympic site, Hackney Wick, at about 11:30 this morning.
And here it is 40 minutes later.
From the BBC:
A huge blaze has broken out in east London close to where the main stadium for the London Olympics will be built.
The London Fire Brigade were called at 1206 GMT on Monday to reports of a fire at a disused warehouse in Waterden Road, Hackney Wick, near Stratford.
Some more photos, taken by your intrepid reporter:
