Scottish⑦Canuck Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Hopefully there are no fatalities. Too early to jump to conclusions but it's obviously pretty suspicious given the event and the number of people gathered there. EDIT: Pretty sickening if it's a deliberate attack.

Gurn Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Too soon to jump to a conclusion re- terrorism, this could be "just" an unfortunate gas leak that ignited. Hopefully those people that were hurt can have their limbs re-attached. Modern medical care can be spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
