If you were in charge, what steps would you take immediately following such an incident to reassure the public?
@9LX9VX52wks2W
Give the cause of the explosion, any information concerning possible chemical hazards the surrounding areas should be aware of and measures being taken to clean them up— if needed. Additional the measures that will be taken so that similar incidents do not occur.

How do you think the families of the soldiers feel, and what could be done to support them during this time?
@9LX5CKZ2wks2W
I think that the families are in so much pain. And I believe the government should support the families financially.
