Because it is right inside a residential area with high population density.

So, its impact on lives and property is very high and devastating.

I'm not within Lagos, but comments from nairalanders suggests the magnitude was great.

I understand the sound and vibrations was perceived even in some neighbouring states such as Ogun.

Very close to my house at omo onile(abule ado) fire did not even touch those building above, that's vibration

These pictures look like the aftermath of a bomb blast. God save us all.

This is painful and a great loss. May God comfort those affected by the explosion

Hmmmmm

Probably because it was GAS pipeline.

Hope no casualties

Chimmmmm

Gas, fuel a d crude oil pipe lines are bombs. We should know this.

Zoogeria

May God console the bereaved

Lagos is congested.
They should free Lagos.
Lagos will diminish come few years.
Lagos is not developing anymore

If this really was a pipeline explosion and not a sabotage as u suspect.
Then there is only one possible explanation, someone might have mistakenly shut in a valve, or a valve failed., While pumping was ongoing without any safety procedures at the pumping end to shut down in case of excess pressure, there could have been a build up of accumulated pressurised hydrocarbons along the line, and unfortunately that was the weakest point in the line with high possibility of a spark somewhere around.
I have witnessed scenarios like this.
Nigeria needs to step up on its safety and automation procedures.

RIP to the dead.
May God in his infinite mercy comfort those who are at loss and give them the strength to see through this trying times.

oga o, left to me, in my own myopic understanding, I will say God is showing himself mightyly and telling us all that he is still God.
Look at what is happening all over the world, scientist and atheist can't even understand what is going on, the whole world is being humbled at the moment.
GOD IS GREAT SINCERELY

You are talking in the rubbish, you are talking in the nonsense!

This dullard has been a huge curse to Nigerians..
Never again!!

Lord have mercy on our land Nigeria.
