A Thread For Discussing Disasters

I hadn't heard of this one before, the cloud of gas that floated into a disco and then ignited is just bizarre and slightly mesmerising.

Yeah, it's one I only found out about by chance; considering the circumstances it's amazing it isn't more widely known. I suppose the fact that there were no Brits among the casualties meant it just wasn't newsworthy over here.
 
The photos of Los Alfaques are really quite horrifying. Approach with caution.
 
I do vaguely remember hearing about Los Alfaques in my childhood (but then, it was in mine), but not looking at photos before. I can only compare it to the casts of the victims of Pompeii, but way more graphic.

Curiosity got the better of me with this. The photos look like the aftermath of a war.

I always found the Moorgate Tube station crash fascinating.

A passenger jet has come down in a densely populated area of Karachi. Some very grim videos on twitter.
 
It’s so grim- you can see what looks like a few cars go down…horrible.
 
This attack in Sydney 😢

Australia stabbings leave seven dead – as it happened

I had a dream in October 2022 (typed it too) which featured a similar event - I sat down to watch the news on TV, and there were reports of a terrorist attack in Australia. :( (Footage was of big silver buildings, but it apparently happened in a boutique). The news (in this dream) mentioned that Enya's sister Olive, who they referred to as the 'pocket' of Enya, haha, was one of the random people bringing others to safety and out of harm's reach.
Despite news that at least 5 people sadly died in the real event, hopefully those affected will physically recover, and that first responders and people's instincts did save many lives. 😌🙏
 
Why was a helicopter flying at the plane?

Either way it was either Trump’s fault for cutting funding or DEI hires. Pick your poison and facts be gone.
 
His claim of DEI hires being the causes is one of the most disgusting, racist vile things he’s said in his entire political career and yet nothing will come of it. This term is going to be worse than the last.

Such a sad tragic event.
 
So weird. Even if the helicopter was higher than it should have been (I guess it doesn’t have TCAS like the jet?), it is bizarre how it just flies straight into the jet. Obvious answer would be that in addition to being at the wrong altitude, there was some compromising of vision.
 
The vaguely plausible theory I saw on Reddit was that the instructions from the tower were unclear and that the helicopter established visuals on the plane behind the one they were supposed to, and given it was night it was harder to tell there was a plane right in front of it.
 
Fucking Hell :o

I can't wait to find out how black people were responsible for this and not, you know, the sweeping cuts the orange rapist nazi made to the TSA and FAA.
