Jaipur IOC blast

Jaipur the capital of state Rajasthan in india.

In a petroleum Dipo there was a blast. It caused a lot of air pollution. Some people died and many were injured in it.

Barry's Response I assume you refer to the Jaipur fire on Oct 29, 2009. The depot is owned by the Indian Oil Corporation and sits on the outskirts of Jaipur, Rajasthan. 12 people were killed, over 200 injured and several hundred thousand evacuated because of air quality concerns amongst others.

The terminal caught fire as gasoline was flowing from the depot into the pipeline. The explosion sent shock waves out for several kilometres.

It must have been spectacular.
