(Updated - 1:32 pm) An explosion rocked The Fort Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City Tuesday afternoon killing at least one who was inside a car.

Authorities received a report on the incident at about 12 noon, Police Officer 3 Dex Cabrera told GMA News.TV in a telephone interview.

He said the blast took place on 11th Avenue in front of Serendra mall and Fully Booked bookstore.

Blogger Judd Sta. Maria who witnessed the incident said he saw the car entering Serendra basement when the vehicle suddenly blew up. "I think the car was going down to the parking area," he said in an interview with a television station.

The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined by authorities as of posting time. -Mark Merueñas, TJ Dimacali, ARCS, GMANews.TV

Oh my! What could cause a car to blow up???

Condolences to the victim's family. Looking at the pictures only, it seems that the explosion or fire originated from the car rather than being detonated from outside of it.

do cars explode just like that? Wont you have enough time to get out?

I know! I've seen several cars on TV that went on fire (engine area) but this one is really bad.

Yup, looking at the roof and doors of the car, plus the condition of the rest of the car (hood, trunk), the explosion came from the inside of the car's cabin.

Foul play?

From mythbusters, heck no! Not without outside help (a few meters of detonation cord with a couple gallons of gasoline).

Possible ba na ganito ang pagsabog kung hindi bomb ang dahilan? Nakakatakot naman kung wiring lang ang dahilan. Hindi rin naman siguro lpg converted ito dahil fuel efficient na itong car na ganito.

[Stoner]

Effects of explosion is too small for a terror plot as the body of the car is still intact.

Assassination is more likely. Either that or the person is carrying some sensitive chemicals/materials.

Baka may naka away yang may ari tapos may naglagay ng bomb/grenade tapos ayun na..
"Baka" lang huh..parang yung sa mga action movies d2 sa Pinas noong 90's..

[Densker]

faulty auto lpg?

[Monseratto]

Malamang professional hit... Buti di sumabog sa basement parking.

looks like explosion came from the inside...maybe the driver is carrying a hand grenade and accidentally explode under the seat and below that is the gas tank....if TNT wasak na sana ang car..like a crushed coke in can...

A hand grenade would cause more metal tearing damage, especially at the point of explosion.

No shrapnel damage to the car.

Grenade will not cause a fire by itself.

If grenade ruptures the fuel tank, the fire would spread to the sides and rear. There is no signs of fire at those areas.

So this might have caused the damage ...

Err ... lack of knowledge can really claim lives. If the driver just didn't place the thinner directly at the sun and seal it PROPERLY then it wont blow. He could've placed it at the floor of the passenger seat.

EDIT :: err. cigar buts has been found - this might be one of the factors which caused the thinner to explode.
