LADEMINUS:


Obviously u don't knw how to identify a bomb blast

The epicenter is at d middle of the bus not d fuel tank... Definite bomb
There is a crater formation on d road with debris scattered in a circle away from d bus.... Definite bomb
Notice the whole bus is not burnt?... Shows that damage was swift,.... Not as seen inpetroleum explosions .... Definite bomb!!!
I tink ppl r just running away from the obvious scary truth dat dis threat has come down south.. Sad
Thank you my brother, please tell them.

Please I want to correct some obvious misconceptions:
1. A bomb can explode without causing damage to surroundung structures. This can be done by directing the force and direction of the blast. That is why American military can use missiles to blow up a house or a car without damage to the nearest structure. Precision bombing.
2. Some here say dynamite is not a bomb. Look bombs can be made from different materials with almost the same result (so to say). Eg TNT, PETN, Dynamite, Potassium Nitrate etc, dynamite is just one of them.

3. That exploision was not caused by the tank of the bus igniting, or else the roof will not be blown off like that. Petrol is an incendiary and technically not a bomb and the structural damage to the bus would not have been so extensive.

My take on this is that this is probably an armed robbery operatio gone wrong. Follow me a for a second:

If you want to blow the bullet proof door of a bank and the door of its strong room you will need a device that will direct and concentrate the force of the blast on the doors(you dont want to bring the whole building down). My take on this is that Robbers were moving the device with a bus and it went off prematurely, turning upwards blowing of the roof.
The force was directed upwards which is why surrounding structures were not affected and also the absence of any crater.
