So, there was a large explosion in Louisiana, and there have been a lot of conflicting reports about what it was. At first they were saying a meteor, then they were saying an underground bunker, now they're saying an above-ground "igloo" bunker from the '50s.



National news for some reason decided this wasn't an interesting story (even though it seems right up their alley). Meanwhile, the news conferences promised to the public keep getting delayed. "A news conference was scheduled for 9 a.m. to be held by officials from Explo was pushed to 11 a.m., but that was canceled at the last minute with no explanation given. "

One of the cover stories is this was an "underground bunker explosion".. but that begs the question, why didn't they announce it ahead of time?, and why did they do it at 11:30 at night? The explosion was big enough to break windows miles away:

This report from earlier says a lot of people saw something coming down out of the sky, which would point toward perhaps a missile or a meteor:

So, this explosion shakes much of Northwestern Louisiana and it doesn't even make national news? That's pretty weird.

It was on the foxnews.com website. Does that count as national news?

Also, probably unrelated, but interesting none-the less..

Less than a week ago a similar thing happened in Russia.. With a "massive mushroom cloud" and blast felt 25 kilometers away:

The interesting thing about the Russian explosion was- they said there was no risk to the public, yet they evacuated the public for a 25 kilometer radius of the blast.

"Oct 9, 2012: “Children are being evacuated from kindergartens and schools. Everyone is being asked to go far into the steppe. The whole of Dunguz is in plumes of black smoke.” Other witnesses from the town of Donguz told RT they are being removed from the area, and claimed they saw a large number of military vehicles, ambulances, emergency workers, communication officers and repair workers heading to the site."

From comments section (found this one interesting:)
1. It looks like a NUKE Mushroom cloud to me.
2. People, specifically children evacuated.
3. The military's story is ludicrous. (as always)
"…they are being removed from the area…"
"Buses were dispatched to transport residents away from the area."
"…remain calm"
"…claimed no one was injured"

Another interesting comment on the Russian Explosion:

"The Totskoye range is a military range established in September 1941 to the north of Totskoye village in Orenburg Oblast (The place where this happened), Russia, under the jurisdiction of the South Urals Military District. Marshal Georgy Zhukov picked the range for the 1954 nuclear test, which was considered top secret until 1993"

"In mid-September 1954, nuclear bombing tests were performed in Totskoye range during the training exercise Snezhok (Snowball or Light Snow) with some 45,000 people, all Soviet soldiers and officers,[1][2] who were exposed to radiation from a bomb twice as powerful as the one dropped on Hiroshima nine years earlier.

So, if it looks like a Mushroom cloud, it's felt 25 Kilometers away, and people are being evacuated from all around the region.. well...

Notice RT insists it was a "series of explosions" but there is only one large mushroom cloud.. and one loud blast reported by most people.

Not really Also, "web news" and TV news are two different things.

NBC national news, CBS etc. didn't say anything about it on the evening news. People who get their information from the internet are much more likely aware of this blast than those watching tell-lie-vision. People who get their information from the tube are usually much less informed than those who get it from other sources- and most people rely solely one what they hear on TV. Also, many people for whatever reason don't think something is legitimate unless they see the talking heads on TV tell them it is.

The population watching TV are mushrooms- they're kept in the dark and fed bullshit.

If you don't care, then don't reply and spam up the thread

Every explosion looks like a "mushroom cloud". Ever seen an LP gas tank explode?

The population watching TV news is shrinking rapidly.

Yeah, I was gonna say that I've witnessed, oh, probably a few hundred impacts of 2,000 lb bombs. They make a small mushroom cloud when they impact.

Granted, the explosion expandos shows in Russia looks to me to be significantly larger than 2,000 lbs, but it's not a nuke obviously. There's just a single short report.

AZGrizFan wrote:Every explosion looks like a "mushroom cloud". Ever seen an LP gas tank explode?

Perhaps, but an LP explosion likely would not be felt "60 miles away", breaking windows miles away, even being heard in Texas. Also, if it was in fact a planned explosion of this magnitude why did nobody know it was even going to happen? Wouldn't the "mystery" have been cleared up within hours, with the company responsible saying "hey, we did that", instead of taking more than a day to get the official story? The fact that it occurred at 11:40 at night also makes it very suspect, as you would expect a detonation of this size to be carried out not only during the day, but much further away from a populated area.

The furthest distance away I could find that an LP explosion that could be felt was 10 miles, with most reporting feeling them about 1 mile or 1/2 mile away. This explosion in Louisiana was felt 60 miles away, into another state.

I'm not saying it was an LP explosion. I'm saying that EVERY explosion looks like a "nuke mushroom cloud". That fact is irrelevant. And a methane explosion WOULD and COULD be felt a long ways away....it could have been any number of things, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a missile.

Expandos' very first link explains it. A munitions bunker at Camp Minden exploded. What more needs to be said?

Sounds like Explo is a private contractor trying to cover their ass, which explains the delayed news conferences.

What are you implying?

You would think that if it was a missile or meteor or the govt. trying to kill them some Cajuns that it would have at least blown out the windows of the building right next to it.
