Title: What's up with Prague? and Google? Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on April 29, 2013, 10:37:49 AM Prague has been on my Google News sidebar for the past several hours (half a day), now I'm seeing that an explosion took place in some building minutes ago. Surely, Google isn't getting this good at making predictions, is it?

That street is just a thoroughfare for cars to avoid the traffic signal at the end of the bridge. It's not a very easy place for people to access since it passes under Narodni (east/west street) as can be seen in the top photo in the RT article. The other side of the building or that corner would have been a much better place because that's where all the tourists hang out. Not that anyone (including tourists) should have to endure such a thing. The explosion looks like a simple accident is all I am saying.

(Paraphrased) A: "Chechnyans had it coming for BOSTON!!!" B: "It's not Chechnya its Czechlosovakia you idiot!!!"" C: "Uh... It's in the Czech Republic... Czechoslovakia hasn't existed for over 20 years..." Title: Re: What's up with Prague? and Google?
