For sure. I likely would also fall to this conclusion as well.
Which makes me sad, because that's how society, and the media, has us thinking

It definitely is unfortunate that the way things are, the things that have happened, and the way the news is presented to us all point our brains towards the worst case scenario.

On topic: I wish the best for everyone impacted by this accident. I hope that they are able to bring back the firefighter and I hope they do not discover any additional casualties.

I am curious as to the cause of such a large scale explosion.

With all due respect, it's hard to say others thought this was a terrorist attack. You have no way of knowing and can't really base it off people screaming when there were explosions. This isn't something that happens everyday, let alone close to where you live and affects your life. Some people, more likely women, take surprises like explosions, birds hitting windshields and other surprising things by screaming or saying "Holy Sh**". To say they are thinking terrorist attack because they are shocked is a reach.

Is anybody else having difficulty viewing YouTube videos posted here? It seems 90% of the videos posted here that I try to view come up as no longer available.

True, but I stand by my assumption. Espically since Toronto Police recently interuptted a Terrorist ring, (Last year I believe), and if that's something I remember I'm sure its something that Torontonians? would think of too.

Unreal. No matter what you though it was, terrorist attack, whatever.. the screams are justified.. that is some scary stuff in the moment.

Looks like Baghdad on the start of the evening bombings. Unreal is right. That thing is massive.

Sad news about the fireman. Just saw on CBC that he is confirmed to have passed away, with one other person unaccounted for.
