Explosion At Glorietta

This just in!

At 1:20pm today, a loud explosion occurred at the Glorietta mall in Makati.

According to a fast report at inquirer.net,  the cops think it’s from an accidental LPG explosion; “Our initial report is that it was an accidental explosion of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). We are still trying to determine if there are any casualties,” National Capital Region Police Office chief Geary Barias told Agence France-Presse.

Meanhwile, the reporters from Inquirer have seen “smoke coming out of the Glorietta 3 as security personnel cordoned the area, near a bus stop, and shepherded people away.”

According to witnesses, the explosion was so intense that the entire building shook and window glass shattered all over the mall. The blast happened at 1:20pm. I can still hear sirens from below as I type this.

I hope that no one is seriously hurt.

    I think this is the 2nd time that an LPG tank exploded there in Glorietta, if it was an LPG tank. I hope no one was injured.

    An aunt of mine who works as a doctor in Makati Med says that the ER is in utter chaos. Poor devils…

    Taken from ABS CNB News. It doesn’t look like an LPG to me.

    We’re all ok here naman sa Pacific Star. This is really sad. Bombs going off and innocents getting hurt.

    It makes me angry and sad at the same time that those responsible deliberately want to hurt as many people as possible. I originally hoped that it was only an accident because the alternative meant that it was a deliberate act of intense malice.
