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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

It just goes to show you: It's always something. If it's not one thing, it's another.
Forget her, I want to see the photographer. Was he on a steadicam?
On the plus side, her husband should never forget their anniversary.
Evidence that Allah doesn't like trannies, perhaps?
Sure. We don't want to see the bride falling on her ass.
Dang.
It’s like rain on your wedding day, sort of.
How awful! :-(
Someone left the cake out in the rain!!
Judging by the comments, everyone heard the bad news before they felt it.
I gotta admit, I was admiring the beautiful bride and uttering my own allahu akbar right before the blast.
Allah akbar--it's the all-purpose vocable!

Narr
Allah akbar indeed
The fireworks are supposed to be saved for the wedding night.
A classic Near Eastern beauty. Women who looked just like her no doubt graced the court of Cyrus the Great, Assurbanipal, Solomon, etc. Timeless.
It was a mostly peaceful day.
refer to my previous rankings of Mediterranean women.

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

I crack up every time I see it:
She thought she was the SHIT.
A special day made even more memorable.
Too much makeup.

You'd still be able to communicate in morse code.
Wow.
Great summation Original Mike. Apt as hell.

Perfect metaphor for 2020.
