Accidental blast kills 25 in Sri Lanka

Summary: In Sri Lanka there was a truck carrying explosives and it accidentally exploded. The explosion killed at least 25 people. The explosive also caused dynamite to go off in a police station which killed 60 plus people, most of which were policemen. The explosion went off in the Batticaloa district which is going through reconstruction because of a civil war. Many people were interviewed and the explosion as of right now is said to be "accidental" until further investigation.

Opinion: I feel so sorry for the people of Sri Lanka. The area the bomb went off has just gone through a civil war and they were finally bringing things back together and now this tragedy happens. I feel like this will take a while for the people to get over because so many deaths have happen in such a short time frame. Hopefully the people are able to rebound beck from this and get right back to rebuilding their city and getting their country and community back together. I do believe that this was an accident that the people can get over.
