I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

Ok, so that was horrifying that they treated it so lightly, but this headline seems slightly inaccurate.

It seems they were not blowing it up for a 'gender reveal', but instead were blowing it up otherwise and something in the building produced blue smoke, and they found the resemblence hilarious.

Al Jazeera must have updated/corrected it. The title of the post was the original headline.
