What is that with the "The French government placed ads in Liberation, a newspaper in France (which is not read by Islamicists)"? The previous authour put that in, but I haven't heard anything about this ... -- there_is_no_spoon 00:39, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Um... is there anything else backing up this Hassan Jandoubi theory besides one article in the Guardian? Is there another way to word this than the passive-tense "It is suspected"??? And I'd definitely agree with there_is_no_spoon's confusion over this bizarre "Islamicists don't read Liberation" thing... -- mj
That theory went out the window pretty quickly. The guy wore three pairs of underpants because he had a complex about his small buttocks (no, honestly, several independant witnesses confirmed it!). Physchim62 15:57, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This article currently says:
28 + 1 = 29, so where does the 30 come from?
I just checked the NYTimes archive; the article "French Search for Cause of Chemical Plant Explosion" (September 25, 2001) says:
Should the 30 in the article be changed to 29?

http://www.hse.gov.uk/landuseplanning/toulouse.pdf Ministry for Regional Development and the Environment report:
″The explosion occurred at 10.17 am., in building 221. It caused the death of 30 people, 22 inside the factory and 8 outside. 2,500 were injured, 30 of them seriously and one of whom died last week. The explosion took place 3 km from the centre of Toulouse ″

French Wikipedia and the report of the ministery of ecology both speak of 2500 wounded (about 30 of them seriously), not 8000+2500 as the article says. Where does the latter figure come from? As long there's no source for the 8000 I'll change it to match french Wikipedia. -- dingens fünf 23:18, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
I think the crater figures shown in this article are widely overstated, and that 30 m (100 ft) in diameter and 10 m (33 ft) deep would be more sensible figures, as stated by other sources. A diameter of 50 m (165 ft) is also mentioned a number of times, and it would probably fit more properly to a deep of 10 m, as the crater walls are unlikely to be very steep (in case this last figure is right).
Would it be wise to split the article into a page about the terrorist group, and a page about the factory? Although they are related, they do deal with entirely different topics. Jem 12:02, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm from french Wikipedia and I would like to warn you about somebody who put an external link to an alternative theory. He uses Wikipedia to promote his theory. You can see a long conversation about that on french Wiki. Thank you and excuse me for my english. -- Pinpin44 07:13, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
There is a huge difference between the reported size of the crater on the French and the English Wikipedia. Compare :

The following does not appear in the document cited in "Report of the General Inspectocorate [sic] for the Environment: Accident on the 21st of September 2001 at a factory belonging to the Grande Paroisse Company in Toulouse" and requires a citation.
