A army standing still is a disaster waiting to happen. Conservatives more than anyone used to understand this.

Repeating this:
"All forces and workers were evacuated according to Pentagon reporter, Mike Emmanuel."
Saying again now, "No reports of casualties".

CNN was reporting that it was where the military stored confiscated ammo including IEDs but FOX is reporting it is actual US military munitions.

Mushroom like cloud is seen over Baghdad as huge explosions rocked the Iraqi capital early
Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2006. A fire broke out at an ammunition depot at a U.S. base in southern
Baghdad on Tuesday night, setting off a series of explosions from detonating tank and artillery
shells that shook buildings miles away. The U.S. military said there were no immediate reports
of casualties. (AP Photo/Dusan Vranic) 72 posted on

What would be in an ammo depot that would cause the massive fire before the explosions?

Blasts rock US army base in Iraq
|
 The base is in the Doura district
|
A fire at a US base in the Iraqi capital Baghdad has caused a series of explosions, the military has said. There were no immediate reports of casualties at the base, known as Forward Operating Base Falcon. The US military blamed the explosions on ammunition "cooking off" in the heat. They said they did not know what had caused the initial fire. Blasts from the base, in the south of the city, were heard for miles around. The BBC's Andrew North, in Baghdad, said the explosions started at about 2300 (2100 BST) and were becoming "evermore frequent" as the fire appeared to be spreading. "Given the number and the scale of these explosions - and this is a very large base with a large number of troops - casualties are a possibility," he said.

Sounds like these were some huge explosions. Maybe bigger than NK's "nuclear" test? Is there any seismic data on this?
