Deadly Athens Explosion Near Arch Of Hadrian

[caesar novus]

A building blew up close enough to Athen's Arch of Hadrian to probably give it a shake. Half dozen victims found so far. That was the first area I explored in Athens, which has super gigantic columns laying around from Roman (not Greek) temples. I think this early drawing shows some standing. I also came across smoking ruins of an exploded bank building while wandering.

A) Are we to understand that you're in Athens now?

2) Do you have a good alibi as to your whereabouts at the time of the explosion?

C) Gas leak, terrorism or overzealous bank robber?

i) No, my IP address can prove I posted from home under the outer 50mph bands of hurricane Nolo, the 3rd very near miss we've had in 2 months.

ii) Most speculation is a big gas leak. I note 5 of the 6 victims are tourists, who may have been b&b-ing with unfamiliar gas appliances.

iii) I do recall recent controversial announcements of Greek cooperation with Israel, I guess to counter Turquiyee and Russiyaa. Anadolu Ajansi:

Quote

Despite domestic protests and regional tensions, Greek officials, including Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis, have reaffirmed that Athens will continue strengthening its defense and technological cooperation with Israel as a core pillar of its foreign policy.
