The large industrial building next to it is on fire now

Quite amusing actually, byker bridge is lined with spectators, there's even a few ice cream vans cashing in.

You moved from 'aerial' building then?

I go for a walk every lunch time so thought I would have a walk down today... Well impressive... Brightened up an otherwise dull day at the office!

Yes, I saw that as I was driving to work in Byker today. Byker Bridge was rammed with rubberneckers. It looked as though the rubber in the scrap yard was burning up at approximately 0125 when I crossed Byker Bridge, giving the smoke a black colour. It ended up white later on, after the high pressure hose had been dropped into the river to provide water.
