It just goes to show you: It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another.

Kate કહ્યું...

Forget her, I want to see the photographer. Was he on a steadicam?

Static Ping કહ્યું...

On the plus side, her husband should never forget their anniversary.

Ice Nine કહ્યું...

Evidence that Allah doesn't like trannies, perhaps?

Darrell કહ્યું...

Sure. We don't want to see the bride falling on her ass.

Mr. D કહ્યું...

Dang.

Char Char Binks, Esq. કહ્યું...

It’s like rain on your wedding day, sort of.

mockturtle કહ્યું...

How awful! :-(

madAsHell કહ્યું...

Someone left the cake out in the rain!!

madAsHell કહ્યું...

Judging by the comments, everyone heard the bad news before they felt it.

Iman કહ્યું...

I gotta admit, I was admiring the beautiful bride and uttering my own allahu akbar right before the blast.

Narr કહ્યું...

Allah akbar--it's the all-purpose vocable!

On campus, there were some modest Muslima students with smoking bods. They didn't veil, but covered their smoking bods with the tightest clothes this side of spray-on.

Narr
Allah akbar indeed

Wince કહ્યું...

The fireworks are supposed to be saved for the wedding night.

Roughcoat કહ્યું...

A classic Near Eastern beauty. Women who looked just like her no doubt graced the court of Cyrus the Great, Assurbanipal, Solomon, etc. Timeless.

Original Mike કહ્યું...

It was a mostly peaceful day.

DavidUW કહ્યું...

refer to my previous rankings of Mediterranean women.

JPS કહ્યું...

Poor lady. I'm glad to briefly see her OK when the camera turns back.

Imagine being there, feeling a blast like that, taking shelter. They must surely have thought their city was under attack. Then imagine hearing from your government, No, no, just an accident. See, we confiscated 2700 tons of a stable but powerful explosive six years ago, we stored it all together, then we let someone pile up a bunch of easily flammable material next door. If only someone could have foreseen a problem.

Stephen કહ્યું...

It had the same feel as when I saw Bambi vs. Godzilla in 1970.

eric કહ્યું...

Why does someone say Allah Akbar before the blast?

I've seen lot's of video's as terrorists are about to blow something up say that.

But it doesn't seem like they know the explosion is coming, and yet they say it right before the blast.

William કહ્યું...

On the news tonight, there was a video of some woman in labor when this happened. Both she and the baby survived, but there were certainly complications in the delivery. What a ghastly event, made even more ghastly if it turns out the cause was stupidity rather than malice or corruption.

The Crack Emcee કહ્યું...

I crack up every time I see it:

She thought she was the SHIT.

stevew કહ્યું...

A special day made even more memorable.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

Too much makeup.

rhhardin કહ્યું...

If air was a dispersive medium for acoustic waves, we couldn't understand each other but blast waves wouldn't happen. You'd get a loud chirp from an explosion, slower the further away the blast is.

You'd still be able to communicate in morse code.

Mike (MJB Wolf) કહ્યું...

Wow.

Mike (MJB Wolf) કહ્યું...

Great summation Original Mike. Apt as hell.

Leland કહ્યું...

A great example of what happens when your trust corrupt bureaucrats to do their job. Nothing like leaving ammonium nitrate stored next to fireworks and other flammable and explosives for 6 years. The immediate speculation by the world press was some nefarious act by Israel or maybe some other entity. Rather it was government bureaucrats leaving an explosive mix in the heart of a major city.

bwebster કહ્યું...

Perfect metaphor for 2020.

ccscientist કહ્યું...

I have visited an old WWII ammo depot: concrete bunkers set far enough apart that if one blew the others would not. There have been disasters like this in Texas and Halifax and England but people don't seem to learn.
