Sad story Radish Rose, your video, doesn't work for me though.

OK, I saw the video in the link, a large factory flattened, very sad.

Well, damn. I wish that hadn't happened.

I feel so sorry for the families of the people who are missing. I don't know where they were at within the facility, but it's possible their bodies will never be found or in an extremely charred condition. I find explosions to be very scary because they often happen without warning. I've also seen on the news that lately there were two home explosions.

Still some missing people as of this morning's news about the explosion. Hope they can account for them elsewhere. Maybe not there?

 

[Jules]

Very sad.

Yeah, that's why our town didn't have fireworks this year; that facility is where they get the fireworks from.

Our fireworks display was cancelled yesterday when lightning struck the fireworks barge and the whole bunch went up in a blaze of glory.

Luckily no one was injured.

Why did they have one large building, to handle explosives,
I wonder?

The Chinese, who make most fireworks, have individual rooms,
with very thick walls between them, or little one room buildings
several feet apart, only one worker is allowed in each, if there is
an explosion, only one person gets injured.

I hope that it wasn't deliberate, but there are too many fires all
over the site, for it to be accidental, I think.
