| 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. http://www.news1130.com/news/topstor...213_070715_248 |

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
