F**** Allah.

Oh ... did I just insult someone's religion? Guess I'm on the death list now. I feel SO special - so honored.

Live free or die! But, Muslims die first, please.

[Fudd Fan]

Oh, well THAT's clear now.

[CougarGA7]

That translation reads like an instruction manual on a Tiawanese product.

Hope that death toll stays at 2.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

In Italy, they say either "Petrol" or "Benzene," and save "gas" for natural gas.

Sounds like the Italian authorities think there was a natural gas leak in an apartment on the second or third floor (third or fourth floor, to Americans) of an apartment house.

[Red Badger]

Sounds perfectly Italian to me!........

Who writes this crap?

It is a BABELFISH automated (literal) translation of an original Italian-language article. Literal translations often lead to some nonsensical language - but it gives the gist of what happened.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Did you ever read a history of that building? Very interesting.

[Red Badger]

Why would the 2nd or 3rd floor in Italy be the 3rd or 4th in America?.....

[BadAndy]

"Smell of gas usually means accident..."

I've been the involved in several accidental gas leaks, but they've never brought down a building.

"Why would the 2nd or 3rd floor in Italy be the 3rd or 4th in America?....."

Europe likes to start their counting at 'Ground', while we start at '1'

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Looks very upscale.

[Red Badger]

That cannot be a picture of Italy. There are no hand gesture coming out of the driver's side window.......

AHhh, I see. I thought it may have been a recent public High School graduate that landed an internship with the NY Times or something. :)

YEAH Tony Rigatoni had an accident after he ate too much of mamma's gravy (she put too much oregano in it)--he committed an act of first degree flatulency and with the lousy construction of the building any how-- S#!& was gonna happen.

[Izzy Dunne]

a mansion of four plans is collapsed in the evening of monday as a result of an outbreak happened in the zone orients them of Milan

Sometimes BabbleFish is more trouble than it's worth...
the building of quattro-cinque plans
