48 hours after the incident, the world knew. Pretty sure they had bigger problems in the immediate aftermath than calling up the Swedes for a chat.

You also have to keep in mind that the heads of state had no idea what is really going on.

But yeah, they're trying to cover it up because in the first 5 minutes of the explosion the plant workers didn't start dialing everyone across the globe.

Propaganda at its finest.
