    Pekka,

    5 dead and 59 injured is the official and final figures by HUS. I have no idea where HS did get those numbers.

      mtv3 is also reporting the same 6/80, but that doesn't really mean anything.

        5 are dead for certain and 59 injured have been taken to treatement in HUS hospitals (Peijas, Jorvi, Töölö, Hyvinkää, Lastenlinna, Meilahti). That was stated by the medical operations manager from HUS, so I would say he should be a quite reliable source. 8-10 are in a more critical condition.

          Is this a Suomithread masquerading as news?

          Seriously though, this sucks, and the clowns or the mall should be sued for negligence. I don't think they exercised enough care with that gas.

            I'm starting to think those bloated numbers of injured could be related to mass hysteria etc.; and also, I think they might have allotted all injured who have arrived as those who got hurt in the accident...
            Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!

              YEah.. it happens every time. The number of injured will come down a lot tomorrow.. and those who are really injured, more than a cut in a hand are only few, fortunately.

                Pekka,

                those were ones that really needed medical attention, so they didn't have a few scratches. Those weren't counted among those 59.

                  What kind of Gas would the Clowns be using that was expolsive?

                  Here they use Heilum and it is not flamable nor explosive.

                    Yes, helium, but the claim was that they also used something else. I would say that I have more to say tomorrow when I get back here and get to translate the coverage from the morning newspapers.

                      Here's some update to anyone interested:


                      Ok even Rasbe will now have to admit that the official casualties are 6 dead and 80 injured. It was just on YLE.
                      Also the police is investigating this as a crime from now on. According to police, there was no gas explosion, or any flammable liquids etc. No one has been arrested yet.
                      ---

                      hmmh.. weird. Last time we had our hospitals in emergency was back in WWII, which pretty much explains we live in a country with no disasters.
                      I still think this was maybe just an accident. If someone did it by purpose, they were some drunk idiots or glue sniffers.

                      edit: and new update, the body count has risen to 7.

                        I have a chilling feeling this might be politically motivated. We shall see.

                        My thoughts go out to the wounded and all those affected.

                          This just in from the press conference held just moments ago:

                          Police has confirmed that this is no accident. They said it was a criminal act of some sort, they don't know motive yet, or the people who did this. It was no gas leak, there was explosives used, which were confirmed in investigation. The police won't say anything more related to this because investigation is going on.

                          What's troubleing is that there were lots of people and the 'bomb' went of at crowded place where people gather to watch shows..
                          Cops will hold their own press conference later today, so I'll bet they'll give us some more info on this.
                          There were so many people that must of seen this, that we will soon get the info, and also security cameras recorded video.
                          THat's it for now.
