Loud explosion rocks Serendra

No... that is just a false impression of a single incident. Prefab structures like condos and office buildings are as safe or even safer than older more traditional style construction with use of "buhos" and hollow blocks.

It is like saying the old 60s or 70s era cars are safer than current model cars simple because they exhibit less external damage from initial visual inspection.

what if they have used hollow blocks? do you think the explosion would just shatter them in proportions (still hard but at least smaller)?

mas malaki chances na buhay pa yung nasa abenson's delivery van. may bukol lang siguro.

If this happened in another country, sobrang kahiyahiya na at todo apologize na yung mayor and other local officials of the area. MISMO..!mga nananalong kandidato satin most of them are either self serving a?-&*h!*#les or double personality v!~<{#tures..
Dito sa atin pakapalan ng mukha. Kilangan pa bang I-memorize yan..?

Wala pa rin latest update si Mar Roxas..? The next thing he should do is make sure incompetent bureaus like that NDR..something (can't they think of easier to remember or shortened acronyms..) relegated back door rather than create confusions, declaring half-baked, unauthorized statements to the media..anim daw ang patay..ibang klase talaga..

If they used hollow blocks, the explosion would have done the same damage except that you will now have thousands of smaller fragments weighting from a few grams to a few kilograms capable of flying further than the wall panel traveled to the van. Each of the larger fragments would be more than enough to seriously hurt or even kill a person on the street across from the explosion. Given that, it would be a worst alternative if hollow blocks were used.

Maybe. But have you need people after they have been hit by a big flying rock or concrete piece in a car? Death or serious injury still resulted. It may not killed all three in the truck but using CHB (comcrete hollow blocks) would have resulted in at least MORE injuries or even more wide spread deaths from flying debris (fragments of CHB).

Flashback Glorietta "gas" explosion...

Ang tanong dapat nasaan yun mayor? She should be at the scene within minutes after the explosion.

Kahit isang cayetano, walang mabilis dumating, from mayor, congressman and 2 senators. Naunahan pa ng presidente pumunta yun mayor

I got this link from another site.

A resident was able to take clear pictures of the unit that exploded.

In fairness to Roxas, (or any cabinet secretary for that matter), 12 hours isn't enough to get a clear idea of what happened. I'd rather not say anything conclusive until more details have been gathered. The press conference, IMHO, was meant to assuage the public kasi some pundits may think it was a terrorist attack, which would place the country in a bad light.

Personally, I think napakiusapan sina Roxas and Pnoy ng mga Ayala to personally handle the incident because it will hurt their business and reputation. Good thing it happened on a Friday night. Try to check the shares of Ayala-linked companies (e.g. Ayala Land), it may drop substantially, hehehe. People sti ll remember the Glorietta incident.

Well, it was dumb Roxas himself who mentioned he will give a presscon at 10am the next day. No body asked, it only came from his big mouth and only to say the same thing he already mentioned the previous night. Napaso na cya, tumahimik na lang cya and just leave it to the PNP to do the talking. The more he talks, the more stupidity he shows.

He was just short of saying, i am the target of this explosion. Parang kidnap mo ako effect, to snowball his 2016 campaign.

Not really anything new in the news... we already figured it was a gas explosion. And that the condo was only being rented by temps lends more credence to the possibility that someone left the gas on and no one noticed (if they were in at the time, they would have smelled it?)

A CHB wall might have saved the delivery driver's life, since the debris would have scattered further out, but would have carried the possibility of killing/injuring/maiming more people.
