If explosion is inside the ship...........number of ppl die or injured will be very high.... basically no where to run.

 

One of my colleague was at quite open space ship yard when explosion is heard and he saw a big metal piece flying over one of the ship that is up high and dry. Lucky the metal piece did not hit anyone.

confirm is 3 Benoi Road... UDL Marine.. can see the 3 at the pillar in the pic

 

View of the shipyard from Google St View

 

 

View after explosion.... part of the building is gone

 

 

So there is a possibility of admin staff in the building being hurt as well
