- speeder 13y agoA video never do justice to a explosion, yet this looks ridicously violent, very different from the videos from Boston...
- gonzo 13y agoNot Waco, West.
- scarecrowbob 13y agoTrue, though it's close enough to Waco to use it as a reference.
- gonzo 13y ago20 miles
- adharmad 13y agoSorry to be "that guy" but why is this on HN? The last few days I see HN get more CNNish.
- jared314 13y agoI wonder if it mimics the demographics of radio stations. The station has a targeted range and you as a listener travel through that range as you age/change. First, liking it, then finding it passe and repetitive. Those who are growing out of Reddit, and others, move to where their older peers are/were, bringing with them their ways. Like when new hires still act like college seniors, college freshmen still act like high school seniors, and high school freshmen still act like junior high kids.
- goostavos 13y agoNo, I completely agree. While this is incredibly interesting -- the video a few comments down is absolutely crazy -- this is not a Hacker News article. I'm sure this is due to Boston. Seeing another "explosion" headline is likely to peak interest (at least it did with mine). But again, doesn't really fit in with what a Hacker News article should be.
