Default Explosion in Naval base!

The concussion wave from the blast severely damaged the island's main power station, leading to power cuts in several areas, including the southern town of Larnaca. Authorities appealed to the public to limit their electricity consumption, which has spiked amid a three-day heatwave that has led to temperatures of about 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit).
My father in law lives in Pila, luckily he is in the UK this week, other are not so fortunate. What an awful accident, our thoughts are with all those affected.

What a mess!

Sometimes its better if there is someone to blame rather than just a mistake!

The government will probably fall over this. They want to hang on, as the EU presidency comes next year, and want the glory. Don't think that will happen though.
