French Explosion : the article in the Figaro describes with the same words the TV and other media on what could have happened, and is just as misleading. The theory is that the ignition of the explosion had probably started at the bottom center of the 300 tons pile, and that explains why there is such a wide,deep, long crater. That theory has not been disputed... till now :
Anyone who has some knowledge on how explosive igniting (I only have the basics, from vaults protection for patent stuff), knows that the energy works the other way around as to the description. If it started at the bottom, thus as it is claimed no one can have planted anything there, but there would not be that crater ! Simple.
Now how shall the journalists ever going to fit their theory with the first explosion that was heard by so many ? They have a real problem here... well only if someone raises those questions, in French(g).
