huge explosion in P.R
 

There were no casualties, or so they say. But there were a few injuries. The fire right now is harmless, but the smoke wall is toxic.

My door and windows almost fell down from the impact of the explosion.
This happen like one hour ago but I was able to get some photos now, this is super scary, my gf likes like 15min away from the fire and her mother doesn't want to leave the house cause she says that they live far away from there.

Petroleum fires suck because using something like water just makes the petroleum rise to the top and make things worse

The bad thing is that there was a military base right next to it and the explosion was felt so far away that about 15 miles from the petro facility, one of my cousins felt the explosion around Dorado saying that it felt like an earthquake and that he heard the explosion. Also, somebody that was driving nearby said that the sound waves were so strong and powerful, that the roof of the car got pushed down, the guy in the car almost got squished. He got off the car and ran. The cops also saw writings on a tunnel going to the airport saying "R.I.P. Gulf" and some other stuff they didn't announce, they had cameras there so the cops are getting the warrant to get the tapes.


This is some serious stuff, what I don't understand is why Puerto Rico? I mean, from all the places in the world with more valuable stuff...


why Puerto Rico? And also, this is now classified as terrorism, so this probably wasn't an accident. It's very unlikely that it was an accident because only large amounts of heat could make them explode naturally, but it was midnight and there was no sun and no heat. So it must've been someone who did it. The bad thing about Puerto Rico is that it's not like the U.S. where there are cameras EVERYWHERE.
