Howard Miller was killed in a welding explosion after mixing two compounds and inadvertently creating a bomb that shook West Auckland. On Monday evening the huge blast rattled the suburb of Henderson, shattering the windows of neighbouring properties on Universal Dr and Don Buck Rd. "I turned around to say, 'Howard you idiot' but when I turned around the shed was flat." But it wasn't until O'Neill went to grab him by the arm that he realised the extent of Miller's injuries. She said after the explosion police cars had cordoned off Don Buck Rd and Universal Dr."I've never seen so many people.
