There was a huge explosion in Ainslie at about 3.30 Sunday afternoon. It shook the windows and brought alot of people out into the streets. Shortly after there were police everywhere, I counted 3 squad cars and a 4WD patrolling. There was another boom, although not as loud at 6.30ish.

Did anyone else hear or see anything?

from Loadedog:
Locals have apparently located the source of the explosions, home made bombs being let off in the back yard of a well known business proprietor. This could be a bit of a scandal if somebody revealed the name.

Maybe the explosion broke the barriers of time and space and therefore happened simultateously?

that was reported in June…

none of the above.

The ABC is reporting a car bomb in Cobb Crescent

Sub station “Powering down” ?

Amanda Vanstone lighting a fart?

UFO crashing?

I heard an extremely loud boom that shoock my windows, but I also saw a really bright flash, almost like a lightning flash. So there’s no doubt it was an explosion – I guess the question is, what the heck exploded??? Cause it was a hell of a lot bigger than a penny bunger!!

“thin them out” to a bloody paste only a few millimeters thick?

If it’s idiots playing with explosives, I hope the little shits blow their arms off!

Or maybe it was just the Army using a 105 howitzer to thin out the roos at the Majura Range????

Excelent – The kiddies finally have some *nice* toys…..

I live in the next suburb down from Ainslie and I definitely heard it! It was very loud, very deep and rumbled for some time after. My first thoughts were “what the #$%^ was that!”.

Any updates?
