loudest thing i ever heard in medellin were the lightening strikes and an occassional transformer blowing its fuse.

I'm no doper! I just play one on TV.

loudest thing i ever heard was when pablo e. blew up the macarena taking out about 40 people, 40 cars and bringing down the overcrossing of the autopista del norte. actually the over pass didn't come down, it was just destroyed, kinda hanging there at about a 4 ft tilt to one side. the blast was so powerful, it shook bottles and stuff off shelves in poblado.

of that, ww, no, as it was a sunday morning and i was up at a friends new shop about 10-11 a.m. when the blast went off. should be able to search it on el colombiano. i have a lot of fun pictures of medallo and surrounds, just never figured out the posting thing. i know, i know, after all this time, there's no excuse. but one day.
