As the <a href=\"http:\/\/frontporchstapleton.com\/article\/van-catches-fire-near-29th-ave-town-center-burns-exterior-apartment-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Front Porch recently reported<\/a>, a white van exploded while being parked next to the Botanic Apartments.  Eyewitness Greg Riekse says there was a very loud explosion, and then the van started on fire.  \u201cThere were flames shooting out of the van, and it was very hot,\u201d says Rieske.  \u201cIt was pretty scary, but luckily the fire department was right across the street at Starbucks and they got here in two minutes and made sure there wasn\u2019t any more damage.\u201d\n<!--more-->\n\u201cThe buildings are obviously either linked together, or very close together,\u201d said local fireman Ben Miller.  \u201cSo, the terrorists knew what they were doing.  They could have easily burned up the entire 29th Street Town Center.\u201d  It is unclear as to why Stapleton is a target of terrorism, according to Denver Police Chief Robert White.  \u201cYou never know with those crazy a-holes,\u201d said White.  \u201cThere\u2019s not always a rhyme or reason for crazy.  Maybe they hate new urbanism, or maybe an ISIL member lives in Eastbridge and is angry about not having their own town center.\u201d\nWhite says that the city is on full alert and that Stapleton residents should continue to be vigilant.  \u201cThe great thing about Stapleton residents is that they already report any behavior that is slightly irregular.  I mean we get about 20 calls a day from Stapleton residents reporting \u2018non-whites.\u2019  So, I am sure we will get there in time to react to any situation necessary.\u201d  White says they are still searching for the man who ran from the vehicle.  \u201cIt was a very unique suicide bomber,\u201d says White.  \u201cTypically, they stay in the vehicle, but the driver probably saw what I nice day it was and felt it would have been a pretty big waste to leave the world when it is sunny and 75.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-92","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5227\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
