- rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -4/+76Fake?
How does a duplicate photo prove anything...? Am I missing something or are you retarded? - mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -5/+59Let's see, no deaths? Great. Now I can laugh guilt-free.
- jodokast, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42Not exactly guilt free as these people now have nowhere to live.
- Livert, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40Not surprised at all that no one died. All you had to do was run in a straight line blind and you would have hit water eventually.
- DiggLord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+38That poor island. It's so overcrowded!
- botmfeedr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36The island demanded a sacrifice.

It looks like it was posted under "World News" to me! - anitab83, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25I guess I won't be asking to attend a barbeque next time I go to Soledad Miria.
- xsuite, on 10/12/2007, -4/+22Could someone please get this pic as a hi def and make it as a desktop. It looks so sweet....
- KniteWulf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17I was hoping for a pic of the fireball, but seeing half an island obliterated works.
- nyx210, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Happy Nude Year!
- pagit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15the buildings on the other little island is the city hall and fire department
- calvinator, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15@beelz
The story itself doesn't seem to be fake:
http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ss/events/lf/081301fromtheair/im:/061228/481/405509098b574e1ab55098cb2ab28c66
The photo is real, if slightly edited. - friedcalamari, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Didn’t they learn anything from playing SimCity? You must build a fire department, island guys you n00bs.
- bewareofmoose, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Let's kick it up a notch! BAM!
- LordSkywalker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13WTF? I got an ad for another article about "Naked Germans" with a fat guy showing his ass.
- rstarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I thought it was tonight's lotto numbers...
- cesclaveria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10we get it, but after seeing it in 90% of the comments... well, it gets boring.
- PrometheuZ, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10That's Gilligan's pad.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Anyone have a higher res image?
- Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Uh, the rest burnt down?
- bigwyrm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9@DiggLord
Not anymore. - browwiw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8That's the dude with the biggest machete.
- RandomGuySteve, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Someone moved it.. RSS link went to a 404 for a second or two.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8i just laughed when i looked to the side of the picture in the story (in the link, on the right) where it said "NAKED GERMANS"
- pixelwerx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Where do you think those huts came from?
- Llanowar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7rofl @ sympathy
- edilclyde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6i cant help but notice that one big hut in that small island(lower right) yet all his neighbors are crammed in the main land...
- turgiddahlia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I got it. It's just *****.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7"Not exactly guilt free as these people now have nowhere to live."
They're on a tropical Caribbean island. I have a problem feeling bad. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6If you RTFA the houses burned down. They did not get blown up.
- mdmoya, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@chrisxkelley
He set the timer for 6 hours. If the blast was felt 30 miles away, he would have had to go a whopping 5 miles per hour to get away from it. - liquidcola, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Many of the 1,014 inhabitants dived into the sea or took to fishing boats to escape."
You can digg me down for this if you want, and I know the British invented the language and everything, but shouldn't it say the inhabitants DOVE into the sea? - turgiddahlia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"Propane will go up like a tinder box if you're not careful."
A better comparison would have been: "Propane will go up like propane if you're not careful."
Because propane is extremely flammable, y'know. - msgyrd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4What, no Hank Hill jokes?
/disappointed in all of you - elliam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Think of the new construction jobs..
- septicmadman, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7http://www.metro.co.uk/fame/article.html?in_article_id=31123&in_page_id=7
I found this article to be much more informative... - marc26uk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually it INflammable, so you should be safe.
/Dr Nick - turgiddahlia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Wal-Mart.
- da_bradler, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5COMMON people what have we learned from the three little pigs???? DON'T build your houses out of sticks and straw... sheesh
- jabberwock1977, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3liquidcola - In the UK we say 'dived'. 'Dove' tends to be used by Americans and while not incorrect in the UK it is used less.
- chrisxkelley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3um, the owner was alive after that?
- haveacigar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well at least they now have a place for a football pitch..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Propane is scary stuff. People should watch that stuff more closely. It'll go up like a tinder box if you're not careful.
By the way, I wonder if anyone burned off their eyebrows in the process? I've done that with a gas cooker. - selrahc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That is a sad looking little island... so many houses. Its kinda stupid to build them that close together.
- mutatron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Interesting note from dictionary.com:
Usage Note: Either dove or dived is acceptable as the past tense of dive. Usage preferences show regional distribution, although both forms are heard throughout the United States. According to the Dictionary of American Regional English, in the North, dove is more prevalent; in the South Midland, dived. Dived is actually the earlier form, and the emergence of dove may appear anomalous in light of the general tendencies of change in English verb forms. Old English had two classes of verbs: strong verbs, whose past tense was indicated by a change in their vowel (a process that survives in such present-day English verbs as drive/drove or fling/flung); and weak verbs, whose past was formed with a suffix related to -ed in Modern English (as in present-day English live/lived and move/moved). Since the Old English period, many verbs have changed from the strong pattern to the weak one; for example, the past tense of step, formerly stop, became stepped. Over the years, in fact, the weak pattern has become so prevalent that we use the term regular to refer to verbs that form their past tense by suffixation of -ed. However, there have occasionally been changes in the other direction: the past tense of wear, now wore, was once werede, and that of spit, now spat, was once spitede. The development of dove is an additional example of the small group of verbs that have swum against the historical tide. - AK10, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@cpbrown
These are the mysterious numbers from the TV series "LOST".
You are not missing much, I don't think anybody who watches the show really knows any more about what the hell is going on than people that don't. - Nighthawke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Nice blast radius that one made... I remember one where a fellow was very unhappy about something, turned off all the pilots in his trailer, set the stove timer for 6 hours and turned the gas on. After 6 hours, over half of a 200# cylinder filled that house (hey, it was -20F outside at the time or it would have been emptied). The blast was heard/felt 30 miles away. There was nothing left standing no higher than at knee height, it took weeks to pick up all the debris, the owner was obviously arrested and charged.
