Wow, what an idiot. Didn't think about the police coming into the crime scene and finding evidence of dynamite? I'm sure the explosion leaves a distinct signature.

Plus the fact that the city has no gas service. ;)

More recent reports suggest it might have been the Taco Del Mar and the Starbucks just got collateral damage.

Apparently windows were blown out in the London Drugs across the street.

How does a Starbucks blow up and not hurt anyone? Shouldn't a minimum of 20 trend chasing idiots have gone with said Starbucks?

it happened at 2am

So it should have taken 30 wannabes writing their screenplays?

No. It's like in Shrek 2. The people run out of the Starbucks just before it's destroyed, and into the other Starbucks right across the street.

Oops, sorry guys, I guess that explosive test didn't go well. It was supposed to trigger at 2PM not 2AM :( No worries, I'll fix the next one.

It looks like someone did it deliberately now. That whole block was messed up pretty good.

I used to go through there a fair bit for work, but with all the construction nearby (Canada Line) I've skipped it. Went nearby last night, must've had it pretty cleaned up since traffic was back to normal. This city (metro vancouver) seems to be going all to hell. Shootings, explosions caused by arson, what's next?
