This just in.

CBC showing scenes now. I saw a women student with two bespectacled students male and female running with apparent "collapsing" woman, staring into the cameras with a theatrical postures. Sort of like the Palestinians do when hit by Israeli police. Hamming it up.

Elsewhere, the police are LAYING IT RIGHT TO THEM. Teargas and maybe rubber bullets.

A vehicle on fire explodes in three minutes? Really? Not five, six, seven, eight, or nine minutes? Definitely not more than ten minutes, right? Your analysis is based on...what exactly?

Oh my. Something even less flattering than the boob belt. Did she hire Bjork’s designer or something?

You watch WAY too much TV. Very rarely does a vehicle on fire explode.

BTW, an EMPTY fuel tank is far more likely to explode, because it’s the FUMES that are flammable. You can put a cigarette out in a cup of gasoline.

Your post put me in mind of an experience I had as a Burner in a Steel Plant. Some one passed by me, and me being green on the job. He was a millwright. "Burn that nipple out" he barked, pointing to a large drum that was empty. I picked up the torch and started.

A harsh Germanic voice yelled "you! quit that". It was a nearby worker. German fellow and very authoritative. Feelings were hurt and serves me right. Later I was told an electrician had been blinded permanently for doing just that. Burning out a nipple on a drum that was empty. Why that millwright told me to do that I will never know. I never asked.

Have you ever seen a vehicle on fire? It ignites and explodes within 3 minutes. This cruiser was on fire for more than 10 minutes, did not explode (empty fuel tank). No fire truck, not even police with extinguishers. A perfect media prop to justify $1 Billion spent on “security”.

If that's what you want to believe then feel free to. However it's best you also have the facts in place first. Here's a report in the Star on the car in question http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/torontog20summit/article/829587--the-fire-the-accused-and-the-cop?bn=1

I commented on picture posted in this post under #7 This cruiser was close to the security perimeter. One mentioned in the Torstar article was on Queen street some 1-1.5 miles away.
