Ooo, me so sad...

Call me old-fashioned (I am a bit) but these effing billionaires burn money and pollute their undeserving little botoxed faces off while there is so much that such money could do to improve conditions here on Earth.

No personnel were harmed in the incident, the company said on social media, calling the explosion an ‘anomaly’

Thanks for saying that. I wouldn't have made fun otherwise. I'd have just been livid.

Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.
