The sudden, dramatic, powerful explosion on highway 43

between the van carrying ammunition (!) and the oil tankers takes one’s breath away as witnesses have attested to. A mini-version of the Halifax Explosion which wowed everyone at the site!

One is additionally gobsmacked by the driver bad choices, the bad timing, and the synchronicity of what kinds of loads were involved. What are the odds, eh? The only blessing is that other passing vehicles were far enough away and that the collision happened away from buildings and even more people.
