cmsally Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I heard that it was a transformer which then caused an AC compressor to blow. But don't know if that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Mega Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Three bombs....why in the world would you post something like that without verification? They do sound a bit bomb like when they go off I can vouch for this. Had one blow about 30m from my condo window a few years ago.. Holy sheet it was loud with a massive flash as well, I first thought it was a bomb.... Turns out it was a snake getting comfy and it all turned to sheet real quick for the snake.

brewsterbudgen Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Twitter went crazy for a while, with tweets about bombs, grenades and "the revolution". In the end, just another transformer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Many (unsubstantiated) reports on Twitter/Facebook are now suggesting it might not have been a transformer. Photos suggest otherwise. Maybe there is more to this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
