Dirty Bomb in Hartlepool?
Discussion
Couldn't see a thread so apols if a repost
On the news I am hearing there was an explosion in a car, there is now a cordon around this car and apparently police officers have been to hospital to be de-contaminated and the hospital has launched a major incident
Also a mile away a block of flats has been evacuated and a cordon put in place
Anyone know anything?

I think your thread title is over the top and alarmist, based on the small amount of information on the articles. Its quite common for the emergency services to 'over-react' on the side of health and saftey these days, I dont think we should be creating rumours and gossip. Whats said on the internet stays on the internet, all too long.

I agree to a point, although I was asking a question rather than making a statement of factWhats said on the internet stays on the internet, all too long.
It was an assumption I jumped to and was asking for peoples input and thoughts, I have recieved those and commented that at least one of them I agree could and would be more likely
If I had put a thread title of OBL spotted alive and well planting a bomb in hartlepool with Uranium rods showing, I would agree, but I was just simply asking a question

What bomb are you talking about though? You have no information on a bomb, just an explosion. Asking whether the 'bomb' thats exploded in Harltepool is possibly a 'dirty bomb' gives the reader the impression that a 'bomb' has definatly exploded. We dont know if its a bomb yet, there are a number of reasons as to why an explosion can occur.Hopefully we will get more info soon, but it must be remembered that most things these days are treated initially as 'worst case' scenarios but turn out to be much less interesting..... hopefully!

OK you've obviously got a bee in your bonnet about itHopefully we will get more info soon, but it must be remembered that most things these days are treated initially as 'worst case' scenarios but turn out to be much less interesting..... hopefully!
My sincere apologies Mr Internet Police

thats very grown up. The way it was reported made it sound more dodgy than perhaps it is, I started a thread asking if anyone had more info and what the causes could be, whether it be a bomb or other cause, I recived some replies one of which appeared to make sense
You came into the thread accusing me of being sensationalist and scaremongery, I explained why I thought this wasn't entirely the case but accepted it could perhaps be read like that, yet you still seem to have twisted knickers about it
Given that this is a thread on a medium sized sub forum on a medium-large sized motoring website I highly doubt me using the word Bomb will cause a Cobra meeting to be called and the threat level to be raised
You seem to be intent on ensuring that I am aware of what a heinous crime I have committed, when in fact you are just a user name on a website and what I typed is just words
So the sum total one cares? is about 0
I believe in modern parlance my reaction to you is - Meh

I wonder if Corsairs 1 through 6 are as obsessive? 
So quick update
Apparently he blew the roof off his car (a Nissan micra)
The police have put a 250m cordon in place around his flat and have evacuated the Marina on the advise of the bomb squad
But hey, I shouldn't be such a sensationalist, maybe he just farted loudly
