Clair Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 First the five spectators shot during an army demonstration, then a uranium leak at at Tricastin, then another leak this time in Romans-sur-Isère, and now:28 kilos d'explosifs dérobés sur un site de la Sécurité civile (28 kilos of explosives stolen from a site of the Civil Security) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdesal Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 28 kg of semtex - a mere bagatelle !, its only 56 average sized bombs, or one Bl**dy great big one.[6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted July 21, 2008 Author Share Posted July 21, 2008 The site where the Semtex was stored was not secured, the local authorities were not even aware the explosives were stored there.Another example of the "je m'enfoutisme" displayed by those who are supposed to show responsibility.

plod Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm still unsure what point you are trying to make as you referred to three other "cock-ups". Are you saying that this is typical of France, because I very much doubt it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plod Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Don't these things happen everywhere? I expect a perusal of any country's newspapers would reveal similar events - human beings are fallible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
