Two things most of those foreign country inhabitants do not possess.
So sadly many civilians and US military members are dead today attempting to disarm anddispose of a 50 year old unstable munitions dump that ignited while in the process of getting the work done. May God rest their souls.
Scores of civilians and US military staff feared dead as huge Albanian arms dump explodes - Europe, News -
Independent.co.uk: "Scores of people, including US military staff, are feared to have died after a Soviet-era munitions dump exploded at an Albanian army base yesterday. The blast injured more than 240 people, including many children – and the country's Prime Minister, Sali Berisha, said he believed the death toll could be considerable.
The initial blast at the depot at Gerdec village, about six miles north of the capital, Tirana, set off a series of explosions, and ammunition continued to detonate for hours. The blast was felt 12 miles away and was heard at a distance of more than 30 miles. Many of the injured are civilians hurt by the enormous shockwaves that hit nearby villages and cars passing by on a nearby highway. Terrorism is not suspected.
A Reuters cameraman at the scene said: 'Terrified people are leaving the area on foot along the highway, mainly women and children.' He described plumes of smoke and a series of explosions from the base." continued
