AIBU about insensitive comment from DP

Please be gentle, this is my first AIBU.

As you may of heard on the news there was an explosion in Shrewsbury today. I heard about it on Facebook about 15 minutes after it had happened.

I was very concerned as a few of my friends work in a hotel next to the building that exploded.

Initially some people on facebook had put that it was the hotel itself that had exploded and as the news hadn't hit the BBC news website yet I didn't know what had actually happened.

I asked DP to put BBC news 24 on telly to see if they had any information about what had happened, if there were any casualties etc.

He refused as the football was on. It was just the pre match garb at the time. I asked him again and said he could put his football match on as soon as they kicked off. Once again he refused. I then said "Can you please stop acting like an insensitive dick, I'm worried about my friends" he then said " God what are you getting so moody about I didn't fucking blow it up!"

AIBU to be hurt at his comment which he is still thinks was fine as it was "the truth"?

Thats just the word I would use ImSo- how callous of him, to the people involved and to you as you were worried sick about your friends. Does he always ride roughshod over your feelings? If my DH had said anything remotely so disrespectful I'd have let him have both barrels for being such a twat.

It's just so weird. Not really normal behaviour.

I mean he must know the people who work there as well if they are friends of OP, or at very least have heard her talking about them, and he couldn't care less they might be dead?

There is a huge explosion locally which is heard 5 miles away and it doesn't pique his interest enough to have a look at the news? Even when he is told he might know people caught up in it?

I honestly think that behaviour is pretty weird. I can't imagine anyone I know reacting like that.

If my Dh had ever said anything that cuntish (yes, and I feel the big guns are out now so need a 12-bore word) I would have rammed the remote up his rectum.

WTF is wrong with him?
