Train fire in Belgium, not too far from Brian the Brain.
The wagons on fire carried Acrylonitril, a few carried a Cyanide, and some others contained Butadiene.
According to the local authorities public health hasn't been at risk.

During the news break ambulances were carrying people away at a high rate..

Are we suposed to trust or governments or what?

I hope he is ok

Ah I can't stand those people who post on facebook about how the guy with no legs is a former army soldier and how all these hand movements by people injured on the ground are actually signals for actors to fake all the injuries.

People can believe what they want about government involvement (although I think it's pretty ridiculous in this case) but there's no denying that two bombs exploded killing several and injuring many. If people want to refute that, I'm not sure how they are able to function in everyday life as they must be sceptical of even the most well-documented and scientifically sound facts.

If you're the government and want to fake a bombing, you wouldn't do it somewhere that is broadcast live on TV with thousands of witnesses that cannot be easily controlled. At a minimum, you have to control several hundred spectators, dozens of volunteers, dozens of uniformed officers/paramedics/whatever, dozens of hospital staff, and several news reporters and race officials. There's no way you can whip off fake legs and chuck on blown off ones in a matter of seconds whilst you're filmed on TV and surrounded by dozens of people; anyone working in SFX would roar with laughter at the suggestion.

False flag operations ever heard of them ? not sure if you're into history and stuff but there have been many cases of successful false flag operations

and that's your argument against it?? I mean seriously it's the best argument in favour of not against it

Yeah I'm aware of those, that's how Hitler started the war with Poland IIRC.

How is it in favour of the idea? My point is that there is such over-whelming evidence that a bomb exploded that you may as well reject the theory of gravity, as well as every other scientific fact, as there is not enough evidence in the world to convince that person of anything. Gravity may just be an elaborate conspiracy by scientists and governments to stop people from realising that they can float the fцck away if only they knew it were possible

So what are the exact claims made by people who think the bombings are some conspiracy. In other words, what is real and what is fake (e.g. did a bomb go off, who are the actors (spectators/those killed/those injured/those giving aid), are the accused brothers in on it/had nothing to do with it/did it, is the US government involved and why, (if yes) who in the US government is involved, who in the FBI/CIA/Police is involved and why, etc.).

Once I know which claims we're dealing with we can look at the evidence for each claim. I'm always surprised by how many people are fooled in to believing conspiracies just because of the shear number of claims made, as if the number of claims is proportional to the amount of evidence supporting the theory.

the idea of false flag ops is that you do something yourself but claim it's done by someone else - it's not about pretending that it happened using FX effects duhhh

I know, hence my example about Hitler and the invasion of Poland. Also the special effects claim is one of the conspiracy theories, it's not something I pulled out of my ass. Absurd isn't it? These people are idiots. There's a website documenting the frame by frame hand movements of injured people to other injured people apparently signalling various things such as "prosthetics are off", "leg stumps attached", "fake blood deployed", etc. One of the signals is a guy putting on or removing his sunglasses, another is the guy with no legs wailing his hand about in the air.

This is why I asked what specific claims are being made as everyone seems to have their own theory about what happened. Some think a bomb went off, some didn't. Such polarisation speaks volumes as to the credibility of these claims.

These ridiculous ideas come from those who can't fathom that a government is capable of actually bombing its own citizens.

I'm with Hanlon, Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

I appreciate the fact that a false flag bombing wouldn't be an impossible scenario but there's going to have to be some pretty substantial evidence to sway me. There's nothing about this bombing that seems overly suspicious and I can't fathom why a government false flag operation would be carried out in this manner. Knowledge of the imminent attack and purposefully ignoring it is another story.

The main problem with these conspiracy theories is that they are often very broad and very vague. The theory that the government had a role in the attack could literally fit the spectrum anywhere from a rogue CIA operative (or double agent) all the way to the president was involved and personally ordered the attack. Thus, evidence that may suggest minimal involvement of the 'government' in the attack (e.g. a double operative who worked in a government position) can be used (and often is used) to provide support for the theory that includes the possibility of presidential involvement.

Also, these theories usually rely on entirely circumstantial evidence; an assortment of hodgepodge facts that supposedly support the claim of a conspiracy when stated together. I remember an ex who argued she was suspicious of 9/11 because apparently some CCTV cameras on nearby buildings weren't working. I can think of a dozen reasons why they might not be (if that is indeed the case) yet not a single reason why they would implicate a conspiracy if they had been working.

This leads me on to my third and final grievance of conspiracy theories: the suggestion that the government (well, usually its the government implicated) is both extremely resourceful, intelligent, and meticulous yet at the same time misses obvious details or botches something up. If it can be proved that the government is both clever and stupid in a particular conspiracy theory, then that is fine. However, you cannot argue a point by saying "well, the government has the resources of the entire nation and the most brilliant minds to plan this operation for months right down to the smallest detail" and then argue another point with "well, obviously the government conspirators f*cked it up and forgot to delete all the CCTV footage".

I would congratulate them also but I don't think these guns are being used for legitimate purposes

That's pretty much the nub of it for me.

I'm not applauding the fact that the law is being broken nor am I condoning any illegal activities involving these weapons. What I would congratulate them on though is proving that you cannot legislate against human ingenuity.

Well, of course the Govt. isn't cleaver AND stupid at the same time. The Govt. plays the cleaver part. The people play the stupid part.

Have y'all seen this show the big brain theory? They just built the most pathetic 20,000$ spudgun I've ever seen, I thought these people were smart?
