In 1987 a fire hit King's Cross underground station in London.
"Inspector Peter Power was sent to the scene of the King's Cross fire to co-ordinate the efforts of the emergency services.
"He ran the Metropolitan Police's forward command post for much of the evening and most of the night on 18 November 1987."
Allegedly, certain juvenile members of a pedophile ring were in a cafe, underground, when the fire broke out.
"Just two months before the King’s Cross Fire, pop duo, The Pet Shop Boys released their second record entitled Actually.
"The final track on the album is a melancholy song entitled, King’s Cross which, in a rather bizarre coincidence, appears to foresee a disaster at the station with the lyric:
"'Only last night I found myself lost, by the station called King’s Cross… dead and wounded on either side, you know it’s only a matter of time…'"
Allegedly, the fire was started deliberately.
