I was awakened by a loud bang today. I figured it was probably some random drug war in which a grenade was thrown, as that happens often around here so I went back to sleep.
Apparently a building several kilometers away in the city exploded. So far 1 person is dead and several people are heavily injured. A freak incident, you would say, if it weren't the fifth or so place that randomly exploded in the few years that I have lived here. This is a city that is notorious for the bad upkeep of buildings, so I wonder how many mine fields our citizens are living in.
That's really troubling. Are most of these from failing gas infrastructure or similar? The only buildings that have blown up where I've lived were meth labs.
The last few incidents were from gas leaks yes. This one probably too though there is no confirmation yet. They called in the governments special explosive forces halfway through the rescue operation but there's not further news about them.
A second dead person has been recovered now. It apparently is the sixth explosion in which people die in six years in this city.
Three died so far. Absolute tragedy.
