Very Scary Explosion

[RedVexHK]

Yesterday I had a bad scare just after supper... our house shook and there was a deafening sound. A few blocks away a demolitions worker's house. (blasting caps dynamite and rumors of other types of explosives were apparently stored there) detonated with such force it was heard and felt more than 2 kilometers away.The owner's wife is in hospital with minor blast and impact injuries she was thrown more than 20 feet. Her husband is missing and still unaccounted for.

Reports are that his body was recovered but also say he is still not accounted for.. hope the reports of his body at the scene are not correct. I was a bit shaky after seeing the house...nervous when they made everyone run for the barricades and suddenly evacuated all the emergency vehicles and firefighters from the scene... more explosives started detonating... it was a scary evening.

Well, firstly, that must have been shocking.

 

My thoughts are with the worker's family, but I must confess, it does seem like a bad idea to keep explosives in your house. That's just asking for trouble.
