Yeah, there appears to be a reasonable amount of blood spattered on the ground leading from that crushed tug in the picture. Hopefully they'll be OK.

I still hope it is braking liquid/hydraulic oil and not blood. :uhh:

Yeah, hydraulic fluid. It's transparent, which blood would NOT be. Also, the tug appears to be a JBT, and there are several hydraulic systems that directly connect to the operator's cab. Given the fact that the cab was completely stripped off the tug, I'm not surprised that they tore some of those lines.

Yeah, also I don't think this should be blood... never have seen blood getting contained with "sand". :shifty:

Indeed, better picture of it...

I was looking at the drops in the foreground in the one picture of the OP, that seemed to be coming from the door, where the large pool behind wasn't evident.

lolwot?! Ed Force One...

Iron Maiden is just awesome. Not only do they have their own 747, but Bruce Dickenson flies it and fronts the band. How awesome is that?

And of course he sings songs about flying Spitfires, because Maiden.

Last week I was leaving my house in the daylight, and coming home in the daylight. Now I leave in the dark. So tell me again, why is this called daylight savings time?

 

[mojoey]

It's saving you from being exposed to the evil daylight hisssssssss.

Huh?
You still have it?
Wasn't it some weird experiment in time-saving that got debunked and dropped by most of the world?

No, that was pretty much just Putin :lol:

 

[Artlav]

Oh?
Here is the map.
I'm pretty sure that the blue area only contains about one out of the world's seven billion people.

 

[jedidia]

Oh well, then I guess Putin was just the only one in europe.

Looks like somebody was killed by explosives in Berlin, when his car exploded right on the Bismarckstraße. Since it was a Volkswagen, we already feared the worst here. :thumbsdown:

The Bismarckstraße is the street leading straight east into the city, before becoming the "Straße des 17. Juni" after the "Ernst-Reuter-Platz", which leads further east to the Brandenburg Gate, the road has been completely blocked by the police while they are searching for more explosives.

Nobody else got injured only the driver of the exploded car was killed. Also there was a small damage to a parked car, when the exploded car collided with it following the somersault after the explosion.

News is now saying that this looks like a murder, IRA car-bomb style.

The news on the radio today mentioned that organized crime is one possibility for the car bombing in Germany. Which made me think: I've heard of Russian, Chinese, Irish, Jewish, English, Mexican, Columbian, and of course Italian mobsters, but it never occurred to me that there would be German mobsters. I don't even...that doesn't...can't even think it...

It's because they're well organized... and don't brag.

It's Volkswagen covering its tracks. In the days to come it'll be revealed he was one of the head investigators for the bad emissions tests.

The killed driver Mesut T. had a vivid past of drug dealing, counterfeiting money and illegal gambling, which suggests that some organized crime thing. The police is even suspecting that Mesut T. did just have bad luck and the attack aimed at another higher-ranked organized criminal.
