Apparently, the National Guard is now saying that all 98 containers at the ammo dump went up yesterday, leaving a truly enormous crater (and solving the disposal problem). I had wondered how only two had -- but that's what all the news sources were saying. Thanks to Sue in Larnaca for putting me right to that.
Shortly after I hit 'publish' for the last blog post, I thought of a better title: Why Politicians Should Not Be Allowed to Make Military Decisions...
There is also a conspiracy theory alleging that there was sabotage involved.
ReplyDeleteProbably using the latest technology in weapons, which I believe is called "Zippo lighter".
Could be... But then so many wildfires here are 'Zippo-assisted' ;) It's also ironic that yesterday (from something I saw) is the anniversary of the crash that killed Evangelos Florakis... The chopper came down just the other side of this hill.
ReplyDeleteUmmm, the base carries its name but I think the crash occured somewhere in the Paphos district.

Oh.... you mean "your" hill. I get it now...
ReplyDeleteYep -- we weren't living here then, but the in-laws were. There's a big memorial in the valley between Kouklia and Nikokleia.
