Anand in my article I said the following. There is no defence here that the Bakery blast may have been a gas explosion accident. The reason is that given the terrorist threat and the scale of the Bakery disaster, one should surely err on the side of caution.
I understand that it was considered a possibility by some people that it may have been a gas cylinder blowing up. I think it highly unlikely that the police never also immediately entertained the possibility of it being a terrorist incident, especially considering the recent information about Pune (and the Osho Resort) being a terrorist target.
You mention a concert in Lane 7. I would be surprised, no I would be amazed, if the people who attended or played at the concert knew of the utter devastation that happened just down the road.
You also mention that the party wasn’t really a hit. You are being stupid here. If someone did sneak over any of the vast perimeter of fencing and dropped a little bag beside the DJ that night, then Anand determines that that would be cool. Of course what if at 7pm a team of highly trained terrorists walked down the road to the resort with grenades and machine guns, and wiped out everything in their path. What if they then walked into White-Robe? Do you think the guards little bamboo stick would have done much to avert disaster? Get real you idiot!
Vigyano I am not really into email or Fakebook, but perhaps I should try to get an account. Anyhow this little chat is at the bottom of a 3 articles old little website, so it is probably just you, me, and of course Anand.
When you arrived around 8.15pm (around the time of White-Robe finishing), Dhyanesh was not there anymore. I assume this means that he passed by the main gate in responding to a call from a Sannai guard. I can understand the motivation to go to Sannai and perhaps even to the Bakery (just a few metres round the corner). The thing is that the end of White-Robe was some 80 minutes after the blast. During this time, everyone in White-Robe were ‘sitting ducks’. It would take not more than a minute to reach the Bakery on foot (running on adrenalin) from main gate.
For the uninformed the gas cylinders are locked up in a small room round the side of the Bakery (with doors made of sheet metal). I think it would be quite obvious almost straight away (to anyone that knows the Bakery) whether or not any of the cylinders blew up. Presumably the doors would have been damaged, and in an outward direction. The devastation being what it was, with the outer retaining wall being partly wiped out, then of course there would not be any doors to speak of.
