    Yes it was very lucky no one was injured or killed. It must have been a huge blast destroying the bridge as it did.

    Um... I think you need to check the news, one person in critical condition with burns to over 20% of his body, I think 2 others with burns to over 10%... there not in the best of health

    It's been used everywhere for years in mining etc ! ANFO. Ammonium Nitrate & Fuel Oil (i.e. Diesel) I would think the rescue crew were very brave as I'm assuming their training would have made them aware of the risk!

    According to Ch 7 news, that was a seismological event, occurring coincidentally, within minutes of the truck incident.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Anybody know what set the explosion off.???? Terrifying to think they are carting this stuff around on public roads.

    Did the truck crash and diesel get mixed in with it's load???
