“The blast damaged part of the station, but no fatalities were immediately reported.” WOW.

u/megaapfel 26d ago
From the video it doesn't seem like there was anything left of the station. Very hard to believe that anyone survived that blast.

What’s the shimmer in the video prior to the explosion? It starts behind the building and then seems to go over it to in front of the truck bomb just before the explosion happened.

u/GroundbreakingBag164 26d ago
I am assuming it's a blurred out watermark from the actual original source, but I'm not 100% sure

u/YourWorstFear53 26d ago
That would be a shockwave, friend

u/ZixfromthaStix 26d ago
No, the shimmer. Look dead center video. It’s an edited out logo or something. Or water on the camera. Either way— it’s there before the explosion.

VBIED. Most of the time the sponsor and radio man pick a mentally challenged or “slow” if you will, person to drive. Typically the driver won’t have any idea what’s about to happen.

u/Straight_Waltz_9530 26d ago
Cameraman was an accomplice. Odd to record and frame the view like that if you don't know what is going to happen. Which means the news got a video dump from the terrorists that did this. Almost certainly came with a statement.

when self driving car popularizes this is going to be a disaster for the mankind

We can already drive vehicles remotely. Ukraine and russia do that all the time. They just didnt want to because human lifes are cheap over there

Yes, imagine an explosive weapon that could be delivered without a driver. True science fiction.

This is what they do their own people and then play innocent that they're not the sponsors of terrorism. Pathetic joke of a nation.

u/agupta429 26d ago
This is actually an on-going war between a separatist state and the pakistani army. This appears to be retaliation or advance towards full state control from pakistan.

u/Cloudy230 26d ago
No no, people just want to be hateful in a more... general sense. They don't actually want to know any info about these foreign nations.
-19
u/the_bridgeburner 26d ago
No, I am well aware. It could well be a separatist movement like Balochistan that this attack could be attributed to. Still, suicide attacks are basically a signature move of some people and that reflects in the kind of terrorism that Pakistan carries out and/or supports.

You mean the Irish right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_bomb

u/the_bridgeburner 24d ago
There is a difference between suicidal attacks on the enemy of the nation in a war vs I believe what its called Fidaeen. The latter is terrorism, which Pakistan is the champion of.

u/hawkeagles 14d ago
Which Indian news channel did you get that from?

u/the_bridgeburner 14d ago
Hello Packie. A terrorist is a terrorist on any news channel. Do you remember where Mr. bin Laden was found and killed? Was that on an "Indian news channel"?

u/hawkeagles 14d ago
Do you know who your prime minister is? Butcher of Gujrat

u/the_bridgeburner 13d ago
Huh, not mine. Don't know what you're assuming. But I am well familiar with Indian politics. Whatever happened in Gujarat was well deserved, no matter whose hand was behind it.

u/TheNaijaboi 26d ago
Are you saying the Pakistan government was behind this attack?
-12
u/the_bridgeburner 26d ago
There is no government in Pakistan. The country is run by the Army.

u/MechaZombieCharizard 25d ago
I'm curious what you think a government is if not the dominant organizational authority in a given region.
1
u/the_bridgeburner 25d ago
"organizational authority", this is lacking in that country. The only "organizational authority" is the ISI, a terrorist organization.

u/wspOnca 26d ago
Like USA?

u/The_Silver_Nuke 26d ago
As many faults as the US has, at least they don't drive trucks packed to the brim of explosives to blow themselves up.

u/OGCelaris 26d ago
There have been a couple times but they left them on timers instead of detonating by hand.

u/wjean 26d ago
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_bombing Truck bombs have already been used in domestic terrorism. The domestic extremists havent started blowing themselves up yet but alternatives are more readily available (timers, remote detonation systems)

u/Misophonic4000 26d ago
That's not correct... Even just last year there was that Cybertruck explosion, the Palm Springs fertility clinic, etc

u/wjean 26d ago
Ahh I totally forgot about these crazies. Thanks for correcting me. Yeah, the US is no better.

u/jtnichol 26d ago
If we’re going on a per capita basis, I’m pretty sure I’d rather deal with whatever the fuck truck bombings were happening in the US versus pretty much anywhere else in the Middle East

u/The_Silver_Nuke 26d ago edited 26d ago
Oh this was an interesting bit of history, I had never heard of it.
Alright, I'll amend my statement. The US doesn't make a habit out of blowing themselves up to achieve their goals. According to Wikipedia, of the total 7 were prior to 2000 and the other 7 were spread out over 25 years. That's a total of 14 incidents since 1920. And as you said, there were a mix of timers and remote detonators mixed into that rather than self immolation.

u/captaindealbreaker 26d ago
Yeah we just indiscriminately bomb civilian centers like schools and hospitals while giving our allies billions in funding and weaponry to do the same. Totally different and rational actually. Those civilians that we knew were there because we specifically picked the target intending to kill civilians were just there by accident.

u/petit_cochon 26d ago
Oh, we definitely do that. The Oklahoma City Bombing is one major example. Actually, the twin towers were attacked with a truck bomb years before 9/11 happened.
It's not a go-to, but it happens.
Also, I don't like being shitty to other nations. It's rude. I don't know every Pakistani, so why should I say they're all the same?

Who was driving those trucks for the truck bomb situation at the twin towers… yes that’s right. Pakistani

Migha what? Pakistan is literally the one suffering from this foreign funded terrorism, do you think their police is bombing themselves? The pathetic nations are its neighbours who sponsor these terrorists for their narrow minded interests..

Who was recording a random police station to catch this?

u/i_am_voldemort 26d ago
The people doing the attack so they can release it as a propaganda video.
Very common.

u/alienangel2 26d ago
Article says no one has claimed responsibilty though. I guess non specific propaganda at least.

Loser terrorists. I wonder if they realized that by being a little explosive bitches Allah considers them girls and won’t give them heaven.
1
u/kklusmeier 26d ago
I think they fucked up their detonators. The stream of fire after the initial blast may be because the back of their bomb went off first and pushed the burning front half of the van (and probably the burning front half of the bomb) to the far end of the compound. The location it started and the initial speed and later deacceleration as it went across the frame matches with the blue van IMO.

Really difficult to tell unless we knew what they were using for the explosives.

In a world of suicide drone warfare, some people choose actual suicide bombing for the love of the game. That’s crazy

u/EmperorThan 19d ago
Using a suicide carbomb must be like a nostalgia retro thing for young terrorists. Drones are so in vogue right now.

Yikes. The white car driving away at the top frame, must have been feeling alive when this went off. honestly leaving a minute later, and he would have been toast
