Three people who narrowly escaped a terrifying house explosion by "a matter of seconds" have been named locally. Liam and Gwen McCloughlin, both in their fifties, and son Jack, who is in his twenties, are recovering in hospital, according to neighbours who have known the family for 15 years. Tony McElroy, who lives across the road, said he was awoken in the early hours by a loud thud, and opened his curtains to see debris flying at his window. He said it was "a matter of seconds" before the entire house had collapsed while still engulfed in flames.
