"Accident" is a loaded term that should not be used. It implies that it was unpreventable. We don’t know that. This should be replaced with a neutral term like incident or explosion. Schwede 66 17:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Strongly agree. This is a contagious, addictive terminology which is a bad writing and overgeneralized. Dreameditsbrooklyn (talk) 03:58, 15 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
