A Bus Explosion of the Good Kind

Eric, I hope your server doesn't go down tonight. You are going to get ton's of hits from across the Country and the world.

LAst Night GEorge Norry on Coast to Coast am had news of an explosion in Downtown Los angeles and no one knows what it was . So , I am sending this URl to them so folks can know what caused the expolosion.

My partner & I live in Bunker Hill Towers Condominiums, and were home when the explosion happened. For a minute or so, we were really horrified -- it looked and sounded like someone had detonated a bomb at Disney Hall. Considering the state of the world, you'd think the film company or the city would have had the foresight to alert the neighborhood ahead of time. My partner & I were both New York residents when 9/11 happened, and saw the towers fall. For a minute (until we noticed the film trucks & lights), we thought a new terrorist attack had occurred.

As a resident living at ground-zero of this film shoot, I can attest that we received plenty of notification and clear information on what was coming. However, I think you raise an excellent point. Given the scale of the explosions, wider notification by the film company would have been the responsible thing to do.

That said, I can't imagine how people on the Broadway side of my building could handle the noise. I'm reasonably sure the businesses closed on our block were compensated for closing. I think some form of compensation for those residents would only be fair. For the weekend, their homes were uninhabitable.

Heads up! This activity will continue for the next two weekends.
