It can be real breaking news – just one hour ago a big explosion happened in St. Petersburg downtown. Many local bloggers started posting photos of 16-stored house high fire. People say that the explosion was so loud that it was heard at all the parts of the Russia second most populated city. More updates would follow shortly. No comments from authorities were yet made. More photos and videos:

and some Russian Photoshop lovers started already expressing their view on the subject, it symbolizes probably that in the lack of information any version is possible:

“It has gone.” This silver skyscraper building was planned to be built in historical center of the city and was not appreciated on a larger scale by local population.

“Allah Akbar” is written in Russian on this one.
