A new unfolding story. This has potential to be a major disaster. Early reports are not good at all. No idea what caused this yet. It was a massive explosion around 8pm. Some say that a fire started and caused a tank to blow up. A small town of 2,500 north of Waco.
I sincerely hope conspiracy theorists don't label this as false-flagged, like they do for most serious national events (i.e., just recently, the Boston Marathon explosion).
Omg that video. Hope the nothing permanent happened to the ones filming and that nobody died, though looking at the video it seems unlikely that nobody died...
That could be. On the map West Fertilizer is on the edge of town. The schools near it look newer. I don't know. One guy said he grew up playing on the playground next to the fertilizer tanks.
This is an accident and what's remaining is Search & Rescue.
The other is terrorism and is still on going. And it's not 3 people now. 5 people already (one is a suspect and another a policeman) The fugitive is armed and dangerous (including explosive devices) at large in residential area.
But we should not feel sorry for those who lost their lives in Texas?
Media giving lots of attention and love to the 3 that died in Boston, which I have no problem with by the way... the issue lies within the fact that there's no love and attention by the media for Texas casualties.
Also the Boston happenings are more "storybook" and there are villains everyone loves to have a villain in a story.
Plus people know Boston. Nobody knows West,Texas. That's why the media is covering Boston more.
The fertilizer plant that exploded Wednesday had at least 540,000 pounds of potentially dangerous ammonium nitrate in a storage building, a 2012 company filing with the state health department shows.
That’s more than 100 times the weight of the ammonium nitrate and fuel oil mix that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh used to destroy the Murrah Federal Building 18 years ago Friday.
