"If there are two tons of TNT, there will be a hole with a depth of a hundred meters and more and with a diameter of about a kilometer,", said in air of BNT Plamen Vassilev - expert on explosives.
According to the expert, there is no way the largest warehouse that stores pyrotechnics will remain intact. In such explosions, nothing remains intact.
"In such explosions, everything is destroyed. There is nothing left," Plamen Vassilev was emphatic.
"After such incidents, poisonous gases, nitrogen oxides and fine dust particles remain in the air, which are very harmful to health.
According to Plamen Vassilev, the probable cause of the explosions in the warehouses for pyrotechnics in Elin Pelin is their unregulated handling. According to him, people living in the area gave information that there was an unregulated testing of pyrotechnic devices after working hours.
My information is from warehouses around Sofia, from people living nearby. Including, this is also done at the site on "Rozhen" Blvd., perhaps by the same company.
In the evening, he said, after working hours, there is the use of pyrotechnics.
"It's not legal. It is done after working hours so that the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot do an on-site inspection so quickly.
In his words, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is neglecting the legislative framework for the construction of such type of warehouses.
"I have the feeling that such companies control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not the other way around".
For ten years, he himself has filed complaints about unregulated sales, and this reinforces his feeling that the Ministry of Internal Affairs does not want to respond to such signals.
