Broadway Explosion
 
What's going on here???
It's been hours and no thread? well I'll start one....

Who's watching the coverage on the explosion on broadway?
Latest they just said it was an explosive device at the taco del mar and not starbucks, despite starbucks looking worse off.

actually you can't even see the taco del mar... all you see is a destroyed starbucks... haha...

someone didn't like the burrito?

lucky no one was hurt, blew out windows everywhere.

global says explosive device, news1130 says gas leak.

the cop on the news just said suspected arson too.

I'm surprized no ones mentioned the T word. lol...

Global is the CNN of Canada, they like to start rumors like that.

The pictures from TV made it look really bad though. Almost like you were watching a news report from the Middle East.

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - The fire may be out, but to hear witnesses describe it, it was more like a sonic explosion. At Broadway and Heather, fire crews and police are just beginning the job of trying to make sense of what happened there this morning.

SONIC BOOM!! lol
hope noone got injured

meepmeepdeath 02-13-2008 09:36 AM

wow wtf

Delish 02-13-2008 09:52 AM

Ooh yeah I work at the physio building on the corner.. I wonder if I have to work tomorrow...
That's nuts. I was standing outside the Starbucks last night. Good thing nobody was hurt.

The 2:30 am blast was strong enough to...

insurance scam gone wrong... the guy probably wanted a small fire but got more then he imagined
