I always think it must be very hard to photograph the scene of a sad incident like this, especially when lives were lost and people hurt but it's important nonetheless to document it. The fire and heat that followed the explosion must have been very intense.

It really is, which sometimes catches me off guard. It's a weird feeling standing somewhere snapping photos knowing people just died there a few hours before, it definitely affects you. Just seeing and talking to the people impacted makes it real in a way that is difficult if not impossible to fully convey, but you can't help but feel empathetic, makes you want to make people understand. Thankfully there was minimal fire with this, from what I gather it was a pressure vessel rupturing, catastrophic damage and lots of heat but limited flames. Small mercies and all that.
Reminds me of some horrendous things I’ve witnessed over the years and I doubt many human beings have not seen something along these lines. It is a somber reminder of how fragile we are and how when things go wrong it happens at a frightening speed.
