actually it looks like misreporting now.

apparently an oil tanker outside the airport/highway?

Any word on what caused it?

Vehicle collision caused a tanker to explode.

If those pics are current on the situation then it doesn’t look purposely done. More likely a tanker or underground gas line. Though a underground gas line wouldn’t be that big I imagine.

Vehicle collision caused a tanker to explode.

Also other vehicles exploded.

From there the flames widened to other cars of some dealerships

The replies to that tweet are interesting.

All the journalists bombarding her.

Kinda' takes a creepy tone after scrolling through the first 50.

Wow. What a fireball.

I wonder how far away that is, relative to the camera's position. Anybody see that info anywhere yet?

It'd make it much easier to gauge the actual size of the explosion.

Did any of you guys hear a shock wave hit? (In the video I mean)

I pray no one was hurt, but If it actually WAS a tanker truck, I don't really see how that's possible.

Yeah, I saw that too. It kinda weirded me out a bit, as well. Is that normal? I've never used Tw#tter, so I can't really judge whether or not that's SOP there.

I know I've never noticed it anywhere before.

Phage, do you know if it's SOP in a situation like this? The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was "Wow! What a bunch of vultures these guys are!"

On the other hand, I do absolutely agree with the President's opinions concerning these low-life brainwashed sheep that dare call themselves objective journalists in this day and age, so maybe that's why it was my first thought, hehe.

I believe it is typical for news agencies to do this. They need consent to use the video.
They have people watching social media to find such videos taken by eyewitnesses.

so many Journalists want the video. He could have made a killing if he'd asked for £100 each.

I see it constantly in some of my groups. Guy posted a video of a C-47 crash, and there were a bunch of comments asking to use it for media reports.
