The dynamites that exploded were loaded on a truck of course.

where are the debris of the truck?
Re: Aerial Pictures Of Akure Explosion by ade002: 10:26am On Mar 29, 2020
Yes their is cause to worry. Probably the situation may be as simple as explained. My concern is that the explosion was not used to mask a theft. Which can be a potential threat.
That's why we need a thorough investigation of the incidence monitored by a third-party non governmental organisation. Cant expect the police to judiciously solve their own mishap without trying to save-face.
We thank God and those involve that such did not occur in a population dense area.

It may have been targeted at a political figure who couldn't ply that road due to the lock down undecided Besides no fragment of the said truck ....trucks don't just disintegrate like ice block melting .....something is not right here.The impact felt miles away and yet no casualties? Did the driver and others run the race of their lives ni?



The best answer to this is still meteorite....But we dont have people to carry out such investigations that's why they made up the explosives to calm your nerves

It looks like something from out of space crashed and crawled away from the crash site,something definitely moved hence the track

My friend(EMM VISUALS) n I went on site to Capture some Aerial Footage n Pictures to aid Investigations on what really happened. Thats obviously not a truck laden explosive.


So if it isnt OBVIOUSLY a truck laden explosive, what is it ...obviously?

The truck must have been blown to tiny pieces flung far away from the blast site.

Read a similar incident where a truck loaded with dynamites blew up leaving only a deep crater.

Re: Aerial Pictures Of Akure Explosion by Cityguy: 10:38am On Mar 29, 2020
Maybe the truck parked beside the road and the driver was answering call of nature when it happened because to me, the position of greatest depth seems off that road. Taking the 'explosive' story with pinch of salt and Maggi sef.

You guys should try to understand that if its actually dynamite, There is surpose to be multiple explosions.

True... its a single explosion but the bomb or whatever it is was in the ground.... why?

There isnt any burns anywhere else from that image... no vehicle either which nullifies the claim of NPF.

Theres no way a bomb will be placed there and go off without us seeing burnt particles as far as those houses...

To have made such massive hole, the bomb was buried drep down in that place

It was a truck loaded with dynamites. If it was a terror attack as you claim, will a serious terrorist strike a lonely road in the outskirts of town around 1am, far away from occupied houses, where there is no possibility of casualties?
The centre of the impact crater is off the said lonely road.. Thus, they clearly parked off the road and detonated the bomb.. Are you not suspecting that they were testing a huge explosive?? Who said anything about terror attack here?

Yes that was the massive explosion that everyone in Akure heard and that's it's shock wave that shook houses ....The first day I saw the crater I immediately suspected a meteor , I rushed to NASA sentry site to check of any records impact but there was non and immediately looked at the blown out roofs and i knew it was a huge high velocity explosive at work , when I saw the epicenter of the blast was on a highway I immediately called out truck bomb hours before the govt and police confirmed it was actually a truck that exploded .. When a truck bomb killed Lebanese prime minister Rafic Harriri it left a huge crater and even set off a wave in the sea around the epicenter of the explosion.. below again is a crater dug but a truck bomb in Kabul



I know a truckbomb will create a crater too. I'm even familiar with this image you posted. However, there'll have to be a ton load of explosives on such a truck to form a crater that deep and wide. And there'll still be fire.

From all analysis on this thread, it is easy to discern two divergent opinions; one believing the statement of Police/ Government and the other believing a conspiracy theory/ terror attack especially its occurrence just days after the Abule Ado explosion.

We also know the divides each of the proponents of the opinions come from.

To the proponents of the conspiracy/ theory terror attack (who are expressing what they wish for the South West), I wish to ask the following questions

1. Which terror group will achieve the success of Abule Ado explosion and not claim responsibility?

2. Which terror group will
deploy its resources to attack an area of sparse human habitation like the Akure explosion when there are area of dense population in the same city and of course, forgot to claim responsibility?

We in the South west believe what the government says and we also know that their is no terrorism in the South West. Terrorism is festering in the North East because the Northern elite wants it.


Oga I’m from Akure myself. I’ve not seen anybody on this thread believing it’s a terror attack although there were many people like that on yesterday’s threads.

The two divergent views one believed the government while the other believe its a meteorite.

While the government angle lacks one important ingredient; where is the truck? The terrorist angle also lack a serious answer to the question; which terrorist would blow up an empty road in the middle of the night when there would be no traffic?

Terrorism can never survive in the south west. We are not the kind of people and if the northerners believe they can export terrorism to the south west it will be their end in the south west and the end of Nigeria. Akure people are very dangerous.

Judging from the depth of the crater I believe what ever exploded was not on the surface but most likely buried, unless twas a missile or a small meteorite. I could be wrong though.

Who is going to dick an expressway and bury an explosive? It’s a busy federal express road.

MetaPhysical:
We must use law of physics to analyze the crater, regardless of the blast agent that caused it.

Back when America was fighting in Fallujah and the insurgents were using IEDs there were similar craters of lesser scale but resulting from explosives buried into the ground with heat and vibration sensors placed on the road surface. A small car can pass over the sensor and not cause a reaction but if a large truck, typical of the American reinforced Armored Vehicles, approach it, the vibration alone could set off the sensor and cause an ERUPTION with upward force that lifts the truck about two storeys up in the air before it freed-drops back to ground and disintegrates.

This crater in Akure shows motive. A pre-arranged deployment. A choreographed act!

When an explosive discharges on the surface, it disperses force in all directions because it is uncontrolled, uncontained and not directed....zero choreography!


Here are questions to ask -
1. Where are debris from the transporting truck. A crater this deep will not leave a truck or trucks in one piece. In fact it cannot be driven out of there because the explosion will also cause a secondary explosion in its fuel tank and burn it down, assuming it remained in one piece, which is impossible.

2. There is a road, and then we see two dark tracks that looks like rails or pipes. It cannot be railway tracks considering the sharp turn angle towards the edge of the crater. What are those tracks?

3. What is the relationship of the damaged buildings to the crater? There is no connection on the ground between the two. If this image was from drone it can be scaled to connect the nearby buildings to the crater. Why has that not been done?

4. The shape of the crater looks like the mouth of a funnel and is uniform around. The bottom-center of the crater is the point from which the energy force distributed out. The force went off from a subterranean core and erupted upward and outward, exhuming soil.

5. An explosion from surface down into the ground penetrates a hole...not a funnel!

There is a bigger and hidden agenda than the police have owned up to. Now, since the police acted as the mouthpiece for this agenda....they must also account for why their story is not supported by the physics and character of the crater.
Who are you

While NASA has done so much for human understanding and knowledge, NASA itself won't claim they know everything already.

NASA entirely missed asteroid "2019 OK" until it was less than 24 hours before fly-by, 5 times closer to us than our moon, doing over 50,000 km/h at about the size of the same meteorite/superbolide that hit Tunguska in 1908 affecting an area twice the size of Lagos!

NASA use the term PHAs (Potentially Hazardous Asteroids) for some reason.

The superbolide occurrence over Chelyabinsk happened in 2013 with estimated energy 30 times that of the Hiroshima bomb (most absorbed by the atmosphere) affecting over 7,000 structures affecting 6 near cities--undetected by NASA!
A larger asteroid was being tracked to fly-by in 16 hours instead.

The earth's atmosphere gets bombarded with millions of outer space debris of varying sizes and nomenclature every year with few making it to the earth's surface -- misses by NASA would sometimes happen.

While I can't categorically throw out your postulation or effort, I would like to chip in that we need further information to validate your claim: truck remains and other vehicles in the convoy remains, satellite info, foreign materials on site, names and pictures of individuals involved, name of the company that placed the order, name of the gov't agencies involved, etc.

All these analysis is meaningless. You are talking about high velocity/low velocity. What do you think dynamites meant for blasting hard rocks will do? these things aren't toys.
Dynamites are very high explosives that's why they are widely used in mining.

The explosion caused by one stick of dynamite is really massive. Imagine what happens when a truck loaded with hundreds of sticks catches fire.
So, your brain is now telling you that all those hundreds of sticks would catch the fire all at once and make a big BOOOMM.??

There is no need for all these theories. The quarry company in Edo State that owns the dynamites is known. They followed due process to move it with escort from EOD department of the Police.

Quarry companies use this stuff everyday to blast off large chunks of granite, limestone, marble etc from the ground.

They do transport it by road from point of purchase to quarry site. It's only unfortunate that an accident occurred this time.

Modified:
See a similar situation that happened in the US causing a very similar sized crater. Read from the link.

Honestly your explanation makes sense, but some things left me wondering, how come the various claims have not also claimed casualty(ies) of death or injuries, or are we saying that the occupants of the truck escaped unhurt? What about at least a single piece of metal indicating a truck wreckage?
That it occurred in the middle of the road is not an excuse as this solely depends on the intent of the perpetrator if claims turns out to be false.

If it is a truck loaded with TNT as they claim, where are the remains or pieces of the truck
No matter how massive the explosion, it will send shrapnels all around.
Did they find any ?

Personally, I think this might be an asteroid.
From reports, it shows NASA had mentioned something of such. ...
