    Add a stash of missiles left over from Arafat's campaign of terror?

    You can see stuff (balconies?) being ripped off the sides and roofs of nearby buildings from the force of the explosion.

    Of course these things happen:

    What a convenient place for sabotage if you are of evil intent and I am suspicious.

    But Hatcher recounted the destruction of Lake Denmark which was surely an accident, like your Roseburg blast.

    Hadn't heard of the Lake Denmark one before. Here's one I was 'near to:



    We were in a large building about 30 miles away. The shaking and boom were still intense. We all assumed a plane had crashed hard at Nellis AFB nearby.

    Key takeaways: if you're ever operating a rocket fuel factory, leaky barrels of magnesium, stored next to a drainage ditch, while propping all the blast doors on your rocket fuel storage site... bad idea.

    Hezbollah has to store its missiles somewhere. With all of the recent "accidents" and fires happening in Iran, I would think there's a good chance this is an Israeli sabotage on their cache of ballistic goodies.
