As many of you now know, a gas leak triggered an explosion in Prague this morning. At least 55 people were treated for injuries (most of them due to flying glass), and a considerable amount of property damage has occurred.
I'm rather amused at the headlines. The kind of headlines that keep you reading, though they're inaccurate. It was a gas leak; nothing more sinister than that.
I was at work when the explosion happened, and I heard it. We all did. The guys thought it was the wind. Less than an hour later, we heard the news - and began looking for information online.
I went down to the site later, after work, and ... well, it's something of a mess. Windows have been blown out. The street is littered with glass and dust. Cars have been destroyed. Streetcars are still running (with a hiatus that took place after I arrived on the scene this afternoon), but they aren't stopping at the two stops closest to the explosion site.
Quite a day, all told.
