    This is in my neck of the woods. Next door was the public library which was closed for a long time after the blast.

    The door on the building that the camera is mounted on, which appears closed enough to be latched, pops open with the blast. I wonder what it was like for the folks in this adjacent building.

    I bet the blast was so strong that it rearranged the words on the library books!

    "Dr. Kevin Foster, director of the Arizona Burn Center in Phoenix, said two of the men were in critical condition in an intensive care unit with the other two in serious condition. But all four of them were expected to recover."

    Why was there a camera set up to record it?
