[craptakular]

Scores of people are reported injured and others are trapped in burning buildings after a huge explosion at a fertiliser plant near Waco in the US state of Texas.
Firefighters, ambulances and six helicopters have been mobilised to deal with the situation.
Several buildings are still on fire, after the blast at the West Fertilizer plant about 19:50 (00:50 GMT).
An official confirmed there were deaths, but could not give a figure.

Is this another torrorist plot?

I am scared right now, could we be entering WWIII? Who can they pin this one on? It cannot be an accident obviously.

Why couldn't it be an accident? Fertiliser plants will have several explosive/dangerous chemicals in large amounts.

It's unlikely given all the safety measures tbh. Much more plausable to be terror related.

...

Has to be terrorists... I mean, CLEARLY there is no way that a fire could break out at a factory. And CLEARLY there is no way that a fire could lead to explosions in pressurised drums of flammable liquids.

Clearly.

Hold me!

Hahaha, terrorist plot to blow up a fertilizer plant? What do you think they are doing, trying to stop farmers from getting it to starve out America?


It's a fire, that's all, another tragic accident.

I'd love to see if anyone replies to this, but il be in my underground bunker, just in case I'm wrong and ww3 is starting. 0.o

Must be a Texas/fertiliser thing

Reports of EMS personnel that are dead for sure, and there may be at least three firefighters that are feared dead.

The blast blew out windows 20 miles away apparently.

The fertilizer involved anhydrous ammonia, a pungent gas with suffocating fumes, & can burn you if wet.

The same chemical which was involved in a explosion that flattened the docks in Texas back in 1947.

That's one big explosion.

Wasn't Waco the location of that siege?

 

[Nightglow]

Yes.

And it's reported that the explosion measures 2.1 on Richter scale.
