Title: Stolt Groenland explosion at Ulsan port
Post by: lappino on September 28, 2019, 08:45:53 AM

"Stolt Groenland" exploded this morning about 10.30 LT at Ulsan port in South Korea. Available car camera footage show an explosion worthy of Michael Bay Holywood blockbusters, and I can make bad jokes because there are no fatalities reported, which is a real miracle.

As of now, half of the port is covered in smoke.

Photos, soon.

I'd say Stolt Groenland will be scrapped after this.
