Hey: check THIS out... Apparently our friend Pulpy wasn't involved
in that blast at all, it was just some corporate coverup (like Maxim
hasn't pulled a fade before)...

+++++TRIDEO FEED FOLLOWS:
"... And now to our on-the-site camera team with Maxwell Clarke. Over
to you Max."

"Thanks Lisa. Well, as you can see, the blast destroyed pretty much
the front section of the building, throwing debris for more than a
city block and catapulting nearby cars into the buildings across the
street, and killing four passers by."

"Originally it was suspected that a bomb was the cause of the blast,
however that hypothesis has come into question with some advanced
explosive analysis preformed on the behalf of Channel 82 by NovaChem
Labs. According to explosive modelling, the blast came from _within_
the warehouse itself, originating near the southern wall."

"Maxim has been tightlipped about what this warehouse actually
contained, but according to documents obtained by Channel 82's own
investigative reporting team, it appears that it was a distribution
site and holding place for some of Maxim's more sensative and secret
products--"

"Hold on a second Max, are you saying that Maxim was holding
_military_ grade weaponry in the Metroplex?"

"It appears that way at the moment Lisa. We were able to get ahold
of a few TriD recordings from the seconds after the blast. Channel 82
is currently enhancing them in order to get a clearer idea of what was
inside."

"Maxim held the position of one of the world's fastest growing and
most reliable security providers. Will this blast damage that
reputation?"

"Thats hard to say. In the past few hours we've seen Maxim's stock
freeze, what happens next is anybody's guess, but it can't be good for
_any_ security provider to lose assets from what could have been a
random explosion."

"When exactly will we know the cause of the blast?"

"Probably some time in the next 48 hours. The current threories
include a terrorist bombing, an internal blast caused by something
_inside_ the warehouse, and even a structural fault within the
building causing unstable weaponry to prematurily detonate."

"Thanks Max. That was fascinating. And more than a little
disturbing. And now onto todays winning Lotto numbers..."
