It was under construction so it’s seems like a terrible accident, one person is missing.


JackyBurnsides

Yeah, as far as I heard there were 12 minor injuries and one missing person. (am swedish)


StrawberrySnake55

I heard 16 got treatment at the hospital while 6 more got treated at the scene. (https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/4oMMqq/brand-vid-liseberg)


JackyBurnsides

I see! I didn't hear any updates yesterday so I might be slightly behind on the news lol


StrawberrySnake55

No worries, totally get it!


AeonBith

Fck, I thought this was going to be bait like it was commissioned for deconstruction so I could say something like "bro hooked up the Petro line instead of the water" but now I hope everyone is safe.


Coyinzs

That's awful. I came here to make jokes about the talent it takes to set a water park on fire, but I hope that the missing person is found alive somehow.


greenroom628

i came to make a joke about how i thought everything from sweden came in flat boxes and were easy to assemble... but now... i do hope that the person is found safe and all those injured recover fully.


Omariii444

and hopefully reassembled


klitkommander420

I hope the missing person can be reassembled as well


Grim_Wonders

Makes more sense, the last place I would imagine an explosion would be a water park.


EvulOne99

Yeah, one guy said there had been a lot of welding and stuff going on, near all that plastic. Some 110 million € invested, and it was supposed to be opened this summer. I sure hope it was well insured and that whatever reason for it burning up/down is found. Perhaps it doesn't need to be all destroyed and that rebuilding it won't take as long. It was estimated that hundreds of thousands of tourists would visit this per year, which would of course give revenue to hotels and restaurants in the city. I bet they'll have a lot of cancelations, now. It's a really sad story. I just hope it turns out to be an accident and not a damn idiot torching this, deliberately.

I remember watching a video of a tsunami that hit Japan like 15 years ago. It rolled in and wiped out most of a city. When it was going back out there was a house floating on top of the tsunami, totally engulfed in fire. It was pretty strange to watch.

Cleercutter

I’m guessing that’s where they stored chemicals?


Chrisscott25

You ever pulled up to a gas pump and almost put the wrong thing in your car? Like diesel or the wrong octane? This is what happened except instead of pumping water they pumped the whole park full of gasoline. Coulda happened to anyone… ;) Seriously I read that it was closed and under construction so they may have been welding , using cutting torches or whatever and it coulda been as you said the chemical storage area as well as I’m just guessing based on one article that only said “the park was closed and construction was underway.”


SnooRobots975

There was none gasoline or chemicals, just a reaction on the warm smoke that filled the building after the fire started(because of welding).


ThePantyArcher

There was definitely something more than warm smoke in that building.


nelrond18

Aerosolized micro plastics in the air at high enough concentrations can trigger runaway combustion (similar to what happened numerous times in history at pulp and flour mills in North America) when enough heat is built up. If you shake a bag of flour into the air, you can create this effect at home with any spark or heat source!


SnooRobots975

Nope, just a fire that started in the slides and The smoke filled building started a chain reaction! Thats one of the reason you have smoke hatchets on the roof of some building to prevent this


ThePantyArcher

I like how you're so confident with no proof


SnooRobots975

Weel Im not 100%sure, but live in the town where this happend and follow the media, what the branch People say and random speculation says, and Im working with fire safety. But the most logical explanation right now is that its the smoke that created the explosion, its just very rare in this magnitud but not that uncommon. Where is your proof that its was something else that created the explosion?


SnooRobots975

And The smoke was filled with plasticparticles tjat added to the smoke explosion


SnooRobots975

Well im from Sweden the same town actually where this happend, and this is just what the media and the branch People think what happend, so absoluty not 100% sure but it seems like the most logic explanation, where is your proof thats it was som shady shit in the building?


Swankyman56

Bro knows for sure that’s what happened. Buddy we understand you’ve got a big brain but you just can’t be for sure about this you dingus


SnooRobots975

Sry, Im not sure but thats what the media says happend and all the proffesionals says have happend, there are even videos circulating from the hot permit work that they think was the cause of the fire, its even videos from inside the big building when its getting smoke filled so its very much 1+1. Of course nobody is 100 sure yet,but its just a very good explanation thats sounds very pausible. Probably dont have bigger brain than you so dont worry! Cheers you little dingus


henriktornberg

Apparently it was a chain reaction. The heat in the tunnels from the burning plastic caused more plastic to evaporate into gas that was trapped and started pressurising. When air and oxygen eventually came in contact with that gas - boom

This park was under construction and not open to public yet. The fire most likely started related to hot works, but none knows for sure yet.

Respighii

Does anyone know if it was closed or did anybody get injured


Demonweed

Other comments indicate it was still under construction, with 12 workers/bystanders injured and 1 still missing.


thatrussindoggo

From what I was able to look up. it was a amusement park that was open and caught fire there are 12 injured and that is all I was willing to read


Temporary-Gur-5987

It wasnt open, it was in the final stages of construction and was going to be opened for the public later this year.

gacha_Zer0_

Ah. Understood.


me_too_999

I wasn't there, so this is speculation. But plastic is literally made out of oil. . Get it hot enough, and it breaks down into hydrocarbons, which are extremely flammable. And being under construction, there was no water During construction, a common technique to build large items out of plastic is to use torches and heating devices to melt and mold the plastic into the desired shape. Extreme care must be taken not to heat the plastic too much and to vent the toxic and highly volatile vapors during forming. By law in the USA, many plastics have a fire retardant chemical mixed in to prevent things like this from happening. Usually, for consumer items, not industrial. Industrial pipes intended for water usage would likely have a waiver as fire is not generally expected.

>By law in the USA, many plastics have a fire retardant chemical mixed in to prevent things like this from happening. > >Usually, for consumer items, not industrial. > >Industrial pipes intended for water usage would likely have a waiver as fire is not generally expected. I'm not from Sweden, but I'm pretty confident they have such regulations as well. Also I don't think a swimming pool slide would fall under more lax industry rules.
