Its was a barge that exploded at MRS jetty. The reverberation was serious. But the fire is under control.

The barge I guess was empty, but had unfreed gas fumes in the tanks.

What amazes me most is our fire service, using a 1960's model tanks in 2013, just imagin! The first tank arrived withing 15 minutes, and the rest came in withing 40min to 1hr. But atleast 2 of them are supposed to have arrived withing 2 min, and there was not a single ambulance at the sceene for over an hour. This country sef

Although they really did a good job at quenching the fire shortly after the arrived. Nice one guys, but you need a lot of upgrading

The reason the force of the explosion was felt as far as Festac is simple... water transmits vibrations far more than solid land, because the molecules are loosely held and Lagos is practically floating on water. This is the reason why underwater earthquakes are more deadly than earthquakes on land. That energy equivalent of the explosion was the equivalent of a mini-atomic bomb as per the force of the explosion
