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?

It was a gas leak inside a building that exploded from what I can tell.



If that's where it happened, it would be pretty stupid if it were intentional. 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.

RT in English: http://rt.com/news/czech-prague-explosion-injuries-553/

Love the comments on RT too. (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..."

I understand why Prague would be in the news directly after the explosion, but don't understanding it being on my Google sidebar prior.

I don't use tor. Just standard Google News homepage with only two alerts, Bitcoin being one of them.
