Vancouver Blast Rocks Neighbourhood: A Blog's Eye View

by sassymonkey at 9:42pm Thu, 14 Feb 2008 under Canada, Vancouver, explosion, arson
Early Wednesday morning an explosion rocked Vancouver's West Broadway. The explosion, believed to be caused by an arson attempt, engulfed and destroyed the taco shop in which it was set and Starbucks next to it. Windows all along the block were shattered. I've has classes cancelled because of bomb threats in my university days. And I can recall cases of arson. But I cannot recall a case of arson where the accelerant essentially causes a fire bomb. And I really cannot think of such a case happening in Canada. I've turned to local bloggers to get the reaction on the ground.
