One of many videos... so far...
Many dead, many more injured..
Seems to have started with a warehouse fire, and the explosion.. One video with a police official saying likely an ammunition, explosives warehouse involved..
Most videos saying with the currency in free fall, and the economy going down hill very fast.. This could be the end game of the country.. Will it spread to other economies in the area ??
Likely good to keep a bit of a pulse on the area..
Facts, details, thoughts ??

My thoughts: plenty of work for glazers there at the moment.

And of course it has to be the end of the world, otherwise you won't click on their or their sponsors links! If the country was already screwed then one explosion won't screw it, it was going to happen anyway. Is it part of something bigger? We'll never know unless there is an image or short clip to watch to go with the story. Facts, details, thoughts ?? Clearly the Chinese did it. They are the bad guys this month. Or is it the virus? Are we back on the Russians yet? Or have we narrowed it down, the Chinese Muslims with Covid-19? Ooh, they're evil! Might make a suggestion for a little banner on the main forum page that says "Main enemy that will destroy the world this week: (insert bad guys)", then SA Hunter can keep it updated. It would make it easier to keep up because I don't watch the news! Yes, I'm being sarcastic. It gets a bit much when everyone is thinking what a great idea curfews are. "Much safer." Perhaps a little reading of history is needed! It's no good pissing and moaning after your 14 yo children or grandchildren have been arrested and are being held indefinitely without trial. |

It's pretty clearly an industrial accident. Anything else and the brothers would be claiming responsibility by now.

2750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate will do some damage when it cooks off.
Not as big as Oppau in 1921 ... but damn.
There will be a lot of funerals with empty coffins.

Way to go setting up a 3kT bomb and storing the fuses in company with it ... all amidst a populated city. Dumbasses.

Pretty much my thought exactly... But then in an environment of no one seeming to think farther ahead than there next personal hustle, what could go wrong... ?? ?? In storage for 6 years ?? ?? It seems only a matter of time for someone to get around to exploiting it for what ever excuse for jihad..
Watching the video shows the building to the left of the smoke from the initial fire shielded a lot of area from what could have been greater damage.. It could have been worse, I suspect..
It is said Trump knows more info, so it is likely his idea..
My 5 cents of opinion, being the SOB I am..
