New water park explodes into massive fireball in Sweden

A raging inferno erupted at a new water park in Sweden on Monday, with the flames decimating a number of under-construction outdoor water slides and related facilities, authorities said. The massive blaze ripped through several yet-to-be-opened waterslides, including one with a drop of 43 feet, at the Oceana waterpark in Goteberg — sending plumes of black smoke over Sweden’s second-largest city.
