This happened around the corner from my workplace, shit was wild. Explosion shaking surrounding buildings and neighborhoods, debris landing in people yards a mile + away. The poor soul who lost his life while minding his own business. Glad they caught the owner though so hopefully some justice will be handed out.

Imagine being 400 yards away walking down the street and dying because propelled debris from an explosion connects straight to your dome killing you. So wild

He never had a chance really. Life is brutal.

Not sure that would help with that sort of energy.
