I can't view the video because of my connection, but it's tragic. It seems as though just about all of the world's infrastructure is falling apart. :(

I was wondering, yesterday while watching the news, how close you were, Filo, to the explosion? It was in a Tuscan town, was it not?

Yes it is a tuscan town but it is nearly to nealry an hour from florence.

Howver the previous week, directly up my town, a train with Sulphoric acid risked an accident.

Wow. Thats awful. I heard about the propane accident, but I had no clue about the sulphuric acid, if that had crashed I would rather not fathom what would have occured.

I think maybe you Italians should take up more golf, less chemicals!

I'm glad you are alright, as I am sure we all are.

In some places Italy is a third world nation

Tuscany is traditionally one of the most advanced areas of Italy, it is surely not a third world area .
Anyway I still can't believe that the seventh most developed nation in the world can have these things happening in its territory .
