Yes, the Guardian updated it's website but it makes no sense pointing people to the Guardian since they do not maintain archives that can be dependably linked to. Perhaps M. Tikasingh can use this for leverage. Hello, Dev.

Your getting the explosion story up and online helps to make me less depressed! I heard about the explosion in almost realtime because I was on the phone with UWI talking about marking papers for an online course. What follows was about 2 -3 hrs of searching for more information on the Internet ( international, regional and local). By the time I gave up at about 12 midnight SA time, the local sites and mailing lists had very little information and it was not posted on any of the international sites. It will be interesting to see whether computer based electronic media plays a role in the response to this incident. I can only imagine that the radio/TV will be alive and buzzing. keep the news and views coming! GMM Hey Georgia,
