30-40 dead in explosives accident.....

[LS2Tuner]

Holy shit I just caught the tail end of it on the news while waking up right now..
It was in another country. But it was a semi that was loaded with explosives for mining and was involved in a fatal accident. As news media and public swarmed to the scene the truck blew up. It left a crater sized hole 10'X40' wide. Killing 3 news reporters and 30 plus pedestrians.
Crazy shit.
I tried to find more on the web quickly but NO luck. Anyone know or hear the rest.....?

That must be it. I guess the news here a half hour ago had an updated death toll cause it was in the upper 30's.
I was trying to see some pics of the massive hole.

They had a video clip on the news right now showing the fire.
They also stated that there was a bus 1/4 away and the explosion was so fierce it blew ALL the windows out.

No, what exploded in Mexico was dynamite. The atomic bomb ratings are measured in TNT, which are different. Little boy, which was dropped on Hiroshima, was equivalent of 13 kilotons of TNT and Fat Man, the Nagasaki bomb, was about 21 kilotons.

I thought we already knew it was dynamite used for mining.... Did I miss a response that said something else?

Yeah it was on the large side. The coolest thing I thought was the bus that was 1/2 mile away and had all the windows blown out from the explosion.
