rumanian ministry of health posted this news:
truckload catched spontaneous fire before it exploded !

were the wheels / loadingcompartment of the truck on fire due to a blowed tyre ?

Where did you hear this? Got a link?

NOGODS'
Could this op' be involved?

Sanc'.

i have seen the first raw footage.
waiting for the name of the city/village.
first estimate: 17 killed and more wounded.

place:mihailesti in the eastern part of romania

tv news reporters of romanian tv are among the ones that arrived with the firebrigade when suddenly the big explosion came.

footage made just after the blast shows an enormous dirty white cloud
of the explosion in the sky.

cars of passerby automobilists look like smashed on with big hammers.

one firetruck seems to be out of shape by airpressurs.

among victims are police,firebrigade and 2 reporters of romanian tv.
total victims sum could rise.

To state the obivous: Doesn't this all seem a bit ODD?
joey

no mentioning if it was a militar or civilian transport.
romania is stll a bit the country where the "hush hush" censorship is active.
it looks also if the firebrigade was not knowing the contents of the truckload before they started to handle the accidented truck !
normaly every truckload must carry on the front and on the end
the IMCO class and UN number !
from what was left of the truck i could not see ofcourse if it had been labelled right.

here is romanian link:

it was not in a dense populated place but some houses are completly damaged due to the blast.

firebrigademen confirming that they had not been told what the truck contained in the tank.

bystanders have been actually blown away for a distance and search for missing people still going on.
