Weapons Depot at the Airport: How Safe Is Mallorca Really?

Answer

Can the Palma airport weapons depot withstand an explosion?

The depot is reportedly built to withstand blast waves of up to seven bar, and the roof is made of reinforced concrete covered with earth and grass. That suggests a high level of structural protection, but no building can remove every possible risk linked to ammunition storage. For people in Mallorca, the unanswered questions are still about what is stored there and how incidents would be handled.
