That shit is brutal

During a session meeting in the building of the Keretskovsky village council of the Mukachevo region, one of the deputies detonated grenades. As a result of the explosion, he himself died, another 26 people were injured, 6 of them in serious condition.

A pair of explosions erupted in Beirut, Lebanon creating a wave of destruction that claimed more than 150 lives and injured thousands more. The explosion was caused when dozens of bags of fireworks being kept in a factory that was housing 2,400 tons of ammonium nitrate accidentally ignited. The seismic impact of the blast was recorded hundreds of kilometres away. It levelled dozens of buildings, stretching from Beirut’s industrial waterfront to residential neighbourhoods and popular tourist districts.

Moscow, Russia - April, 2003

A Russian bomb disposal expert has been killed when a bomb he was trying to defuse by hand exploded in central Moscow.

Russian media report that a woman took the bomb into a crowded restaurant in a bag and threatened to blow it up, before it was seized from her.

Security officers failed to dispose of the device by remote control and it detonated when an officer was trying to defuse it manually.

The woman has been detained and is being investigated for possible links with Chechen suicide bombers who killed 14 people at an outdoor rock concert over the weekend.
