I was playing with some friends online when i heard some loud noise..
I thought 'explosion' but then I was like.. No way... thats just somebody tripping... (or playing too much tanks.. :) ) A few seconds later though, I heard smaller deflagrations, that could be mistaken for shots, or small batteries exploding. quikly looking out the window in the direction of the bangs (from a dark room ;) ), I could indeed spot the problem. Something was on fire and exploding. ( I later ID'ed it as a car with a long beam flashlight that I used from some cover (still not knowing what this was all about) ) next thing, called the police, describing what I saw, and giving them a locaton, trying to be precise (second time in 10 years that i signal explosions, the other time was the neighboring chemical factory blowing up) . They didnt want much more details, and told me they would send 2 patrol cars, and transferred me to the Fire Departement. I gave them the same indications.. And then I waited... for 10, 15, 20min... the fire almost died by itself with explosions now and then... I could hear the police and fire sirens, but apparently they couldnt find the place (if you need the police or the fire departement quickly where I live, good luck...) now they are working on that car, but i still don't know what happened. this isnt a place where you are allowed to bring a car anyway. More news tomorrow...(sorry filmed with Ipad potatoe. was on the phone with the cops)

No, I couldnt see shit, and at first i didnt like the idea of standing there with my flashlight trying to see who was burning/destroying a car.. lots of bangs that sounded like shots at first.
thing is, this is 150m away from here. But across a river. It would take me at least 7min by car to reach it, speeding. |
