Oh, right... No one in Bali has cameras, and there are no TV stations, despite the fact it has a population of over three million. I forgot... *cough*
The explosian is center of picture,the smoke is from the explosian,not the fire.IMHO,whoever took this pic knew the bomb was fixin to go off and recorded it from a safe distance.
Utter nonsense.
The smoke in the photo has had time to rise several hundred feet. That doesn't happen instantly. At least several seconds have elapsed from the initial explosion, my estimate would be ten seconds or so.
That's plenty of time for anyone in the area with a camera to look over when they noticed the flash, wonder "whoa, what the hell is that", and think to snap a photo.
Consider the distance the photo was taken from, how many people would be within that radius (thousands at the very least, more likely tens of thousands), and how many of them would likely have a camera handy (in a tourist-friendly, Asian city, at that).
It's ludicrous to insist that someone "had" to have been "ready" for the explosion in order for that photo to be taken.
Likewise, consider that there were several photos, and one lucky excellent *video*, of the *first* jet hitting the WTC on 9/11. We live in an age of ubiquitous cameras and videocams. It would be amazing if the first few seconds of the explosion *hadn't* been captured serendipitously at least once.
Here is a larger version of the photo.
Hate to bust your bubble but there is little chance of the Indonesian government doing anything after this. Many of the Indonesian government actually support the Muslim fanatics. Malaysia, Singapore and The USA have been asking for several weeks that Indonesia arrest and extradite one of the leaders of the terrorists who is in Indonesia now.
Word on the street here in Malaysia and Indonesia this morning is that the bomb attack was actually carried out by the CIA and to back it up they claim that the fact that little to no Americans were there.
I never said it was from "some propane tank". Where on earth are you getting that from?
there is no other smoke clouds around.
Right, just the one from the explosion and fire.
BTW,a fire ball from an explosian does happen instantly.
The rising smoke cloud doesn't...
So,is it your take that this was some accident?
What on *earth* are you talking about?
No, my "take" is that someone snapped that photo after they saw the flash and grabbed their camera. Your assertion that someone had to have been "waiting" for the explosion in order for that photo to be possible is incorrect and irresponsible.
Well, what should we do during the next 100 or more years that that would take?
Perhaps education and enlightenment can be done along the way, but it certainly will not work alone. It's going to take force, and a lot of it, to keep non-moslems safe until that day (which will never come anyway because it goes against their desire and mission to conquer us).
I agree. That's why I also said we should go after whose who commit acts of terror, or commit conspiracy to commit acts of terror.
My position mirrors the President's, and I hear a lot of people calling for internment and deportation, making the Koran illegal, and disallowing Islam in the States.
That seems out of character with the American way to me.
This photo, and that video, makes it hard for me to disagree with you.
Come, come... What's wrong with the Ghurkas? They are some of the most admirable soldiers on Earth. They love to wet their kukris with the blood of Muslims, which is fine by me.
