Explosion at Glorietta?

[6shooter]

Hello po. Galing lang akong Glorietta at parang may malaking sumabog. Bigla lang nagsilabasan ang mga tao at may mga pulis at ambulansiya. Meron pong may alam kung ano ang nangyari? May bumagsak? Bomba?

Sino po ang may kakagawan nito kung bomba siya?

Anung klaseng tao ang makakagawa ng ganito?

Blast hits Makati mall; cops say it could be resto LPG tank
10/19/2007 | 01:36 PM

An explosion of still undetermined origin rocked a Makati City shopping mall on Friday, initial reports said.

An eyewitness told GMANews.TV that it sounded like a firecracker had exploded, and then a thudding sound was heard, like that of a ceiling that had collapsed. Shoppers scampered out of the mall, some of them crying, while police agents rushed in.

The explosion was heard near the Glorietta 2 mall, from across the Landmark shopping center, near Ayala Avenue, in the financial district of Makati City. There were unconfirmed reports of injured persons.

A second eyewitness told radio dzBB that he saw smoke coming out of a building. It sounded like the explosion occurred inside or near one of the establishments.

The police said they received reports of an 'accidental explosion" of a liquefied petroleum gas tank. "But we are still verifying it," said Director Geary Barias, chief of the National Capital Region Police Office. - GMANews.TV

As per ANC, yung explosion raw is bet. LandMark & Glorietta 2. Baka raw "gas explosion" (LPG) ito.

Mukang revenge of the LPG tanks

[chua_riwap]

As per ANC, quoting Reuters, may mga injured at 3 raw patay?

[j_avonni]

Most likely, LPG ang cause. Baka, ipagbawal na rin ang LPG

my wife was there when that happened , she called me and was asking kung meron daw sa news...hinde ko naman alam kung ano..so ito pala yun

sana accident lang na LPG..kung bomb ito mukhang magkakagulo nanaman sa atin..parang same area lang din yun sumabog a couple of years ago? between landmark and glorietta 2 rin yun diba?

[zero]

sana hindi mahal sa buhay natin ang mga biktima.

Aside from the casualties, malaki pala damage. Yung ceiling ng walkway sa Glorietta Mall nag-collapse! Dami na-damage na mga vehicles.

Check nyo sa ANC.

LPG daw ang cause as of the moment...

Check nyo sa ANC.

Ang lakas ng pag sabog. Malamang hindi 11Kg na tank iyan. baka several na 50 (?) kg tanks. Sana accident lang.

di pa daw sigurado sabi naman sa abs-cbn.

[BoEinG_747]

confirm na daw 3 tatlo ang patay ..pero sabi ni Dick Gordon ..baka 4 na daw

Bomb or LPG? 3 dead are gruesome. accident like this makes me think of another diversionary tactics. segwey-segwey lang naman ang buhay dito.

[chua_riwap]

Grabe pala yung explosion. Ang laki ng damage sa Glorietta Mall 2!

1 liter of gasoline mixed with air/oxygen = 20 sticks of dynamite. try it, put 1 teaspoon of gasoline in a big plastic garbage bag, fill it with air, put a fuse of some kind, shake it up, light the fuse then run fast! more powerfull than new year paputok made in bulacan.

i don't think lpg is far behind in energy content, maybe even more. so if 1 kg of lpg leaks out into a room the size of a restaurant kitchen, mixes with air, then goes boom, i think the explosion will be like a powerful bomb.
