The explosion destroyed an apartment building in the western German city of Wuppertal. Was this a bomb factory accident? Will German authorities release some information? Police said they were in the dark about the cause of the explosion. Wuppertal is infamous for its sharia patrols. These “Shariah police”patrols would police sites such as discotheques and gambling houses, telling passers-by to refrain from gambling and alcohol. They were declared legal in 2016.
Police: 25 injured in building explosion in Germany
AP, June 24, 2018 (thanks to Donald):
BERLIN (AP) — Twenty-five people were injured, four of them severely, when an explosion destroyed an apartment building in the western German city of Wuppertal, police said Sunday.
Story continues below advertisementPolice said the explosion rocked the several-story building shortly before midnight Saturday with a large bang, scaring people in surrounding homes so much they ran out into the street in a panic. The detonation was so severe it destroyed the building’s attic and the top three floors, the German news agency dpa reported.
Fire then broke out in several different parts of the apartment building and firefighters had trouble dousing the flames because parts of the building kept collapsing. They were able to rescue four severely injured from inside the building and sent them to the hospital. Another 21 people were slightly injured and treated by emergency staff at the scene.
Police said they were in the dark about the cause of the explosion, dpa reported.
A car nearby was destroyed, buried under window frames that were blown onto it by the explosions’ impact. Emergency personnel on Sunday picked up bricks and furniture on the street.
Some of the building’s roof beams stood black and eerie in the smoke as police scoured accessible parts of the building for further people trapped inside before giving the all-clear.
Where the building stood is now a huge gap in a row of apartment buildings in the city’s Langerfeld neighborhood.
Later Sunday, authorities brought in heavy equipment to tear down the remains of the ruin. They said it was too dangerous for investigators to search for evidence that might reveal the explosion’s cause because the destroyed building could collapse at any time.

While there are certainly enough people of a certain persuasion in modern Germany to cause this damage by a mistake in a “bomb” factory, the type of damage looks to me like that caused by a gas leak, but time will tell.

That must have been an awfully large ‘gas leak’ to cause so much damage however, as ” authorities brought in heavy equipment to tear down the remains of the ruin…….”, it’s going to be very difficult for the forensic department to do their job.

Not really. They can locate in which apartment the bomb detonated and by residues determine what exploded.
You don’t need to be Poirot to figure out the rest.

They get goats now, since Hugh Heffner died, because of a shortage of virgins.

It sounds like no one died in the explosion. 72 goats are safe, for now.

I hope there are no goats that got hurt, they suffer enough from sexual abuse.

“too dangerous to investigate” means it was a bomb – probably gone bad.
Just read the names on the address box or look at the photos of the victims…case closed

Another attack by Islamic State operatives in Germany? Well, they practically invited them in, so not that easy to feel sorry for them these days.

Sung to the tune of Springtime for Hitler
Germany was having trouble
What a sad, sad story
Needed a new religion to restore
Its former glory
Where could that ideology be?
What could that faith be?
Merkel looked around and then she found
The religion for you and me
and now it’s
springtime for muslims and liberals
no one is happy or gay
we’re marching to the interfaith
look out here comes the master faith
Springtime for muslims and liberals
winter for sweden and france
Springtime for muslims and liberals
dancing boys go into your dance
(my name is abdullah and I like kissing bearded mullahs)
(hurry up and learn the sunnah better come and join the ummah)
Springtime for muslims and liberals
the adhan’s the new song today
bombs blowing up again
fascism is fashion again
Springtime for muslims and liberals
free speech is no speech once more
Springtime for muslims and liberals
means that we’ll soon be repressed
we’ve got to be oppressed
or soon we’ll be going to war

Probably a suicide bomber that wanted to know if his bomb belt would work right before he went into a crowd to use it. So he tested it.

There are a range of explosive materials that can be tested for on the rubble of the building. I sincerely doubt they will look very hard.

In all instances of this sort, automatically label it raghead terror and then work your way backwards through the evidence to see if anything discounts your assessment. Nine times out of ten your original theory will prove correct.
