Accident Blast Kills

In Sri Lanka a trunk that was packed with explosives that were to be used by a rock quarry. It exploded by a Police station having 25 confirmed deaths but it is guessed to total up to 60. The officials say that the truck was set off by accident and it was not because of intentional sabotage. It was set off in the Batticoloa district where there has been much conflict causing the government to step in. Another reason the explosion was big was because they Police Station had dynamite place in it for safety reasons.

Personally I do not think that something like this could be a accident. Trucks do not just explode out of the blue. Like the report said it exploded in a area when there has been conflict. some person had to have set it off to send a message of some sort across. If the government of Sri Lanka believes that it was a accident there will be more attacks like this in the future. They should investigate into the story more and try to find out the real cause of the explosion.

Shooting at Kraft Plant

In Philadelphia a women who got released from her job and escorted out came back in with a hand gun and shot 3 people, 2 were dead and one was injured. But after she was escorted out of the plantation and went to her car to return with a gun. She drove her car through the security gates and opened fire inside. Around 100 people were in the building and all but 3 were escorted out by the cops. The cops secured the area and arrested the woman about a hour after the shooting began.

It is nice to know that the police were able to get the plant in time and arrest the women without more people getting injured, but I think security gaurds at places like that should be able to have more of a self defence items to prevent events like this taking place. If they had more equipment they could of taken the women away alot faster and possibly saved the lives of 2 innocent people. But ther is also evidence that is not stated in the article. Such as, why was she realeased from her job? What exactly did the business do to make a women this angry and come into her former work place and take lives of people.
