GHISLENGHIEN GAS BLAST

"GHISLENGHIEN" - henceforth known as the site of one of the greatest industrial accidents in Belgium.
Apparently a gas leak erupted into gigantic explosions and massive destruction, killing 14 and wounding over 200, earlier today.
Authorities seem to indicate it was an accident.

It makes you wonder,
soo many people risk their lives everyday; fireman, police officers, doctors and nurses, ... electricity and gas, and oil and water workers.

We express are sincere condolescences to the families of the victims.

First reports indicate the horror
"it's like a war zone"
"scorched earth raining down"
"bodies catapulted all over the place"
