God dam....

Damn, what the hell?

Crazy shit...and 2 days from now is the "anniv" of the Waco seige...

I live about 60 miles north of West, Texas and we heard/felt the explosion. They were saying on the news that every house within about four blocks of the plant was blown apart.

jesus.. that's a disturbing coincidence

Damn, that sure was a powerful one

Geesh! Wild!

That was a whole fertilizer plant, not surprising how much damage it did.

Remember what just a rental truck full of fertilizer did to the federal building in Oklahoma City...

I wonder how long before the media and politics get involved and claim this was "Al Qaeda"

USGS said that blast registered a 2.1, which would be minor for an earthquake, of course, but a building explosion? DAMN!!

Geez :(

.

Hmmm... add in "accidental" explosion that looks like a small nuclear bomb.

.

All in the past week:

Boston bombing
Risen mailed to congressman and Obama
Bomb mailed to Sheriff Joe
Fertilizer plant explosion
Sabotage of fiber optic and power in San Francisco

Could be in the name of protecting defense spending.

'Two people are dead; officials fear that casualties could be as high as 60 to 70' :|

Shouldn´t those places be built in the middle of nowhere, or atleast not near anything residential?

Does anyone know if the person in the Video has got their hearing back?

It only looks like its in the middle of anything in the pic that is very far away where the view is past the city, but in the video it looks like its in the middle of a field.

Didnt it wreck some houses and an apartment block?

Shit like that should be 20 miles from anything in a fucking swamp or something. Similar happened in Valencia, Spain few years back with a fireworks factory, took down 1/2 mountain.

It did. That's a very small town, and the plant was relatively close...too close.

WTF? TV is reporting 2 dead... But there are more than 60 DEAD...

WACO WACO...

That's because there has not been an actual "official" announcement yet...but it certainly looks to be a very ugly number.
;-(

This is the state of Texas's fault because half the cities there have no real zoning ordinances and you can have residential & business/industrial right on top of each other.

Huston is one of the absolute worst for doing that shit. You should never have houses anywhere near a fertilizer plant much less the refineries they have all over out there. This exact same shit has happened before in Texas with refineries yet they never change a damn thing.

The chemical used in fertilizer are very nasty shit. Timothy McVeigh used a fertilizer bomb to take out the Oklahoma City federal building years ago and it blew that building to peaces. This shit shouldn't be anywhere near houses.

A four block area is believed to have been levelled by the blast..

The Oklahoma City bombing was on April 19, 1995 on the anniversary of the final assault on the Branch Davidians in Waco Texas ... a mere miles from the same type of explosion on almost the exact 20 year anniversary.

I'm by NO means a conspiracy theorist, but it can't be a coincidence.

sure it could, that's why we have the word *coincidence*

So they do it 1 day earlier?
And how was it the same type of explosion exactly? Didn't the place burn down?

MOTIVATION

The chief conspirators, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, met in 1988 at Fort Benning during basic training for the U.S. Army.[17] Michael Fortier, McVeigh's accomplice, was his Army roommate.[18] The three shared interests in survivalism and opposed gun control.[19][20] They expressed anger at the federal government's handling of the 1992 Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) standoff with Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge as well as the Waco Siege?a 1993 51-day standoff between the FBI and Branch Davidian members which began with a botched ATF attempt to execute a search warrant leading to a fire fight (it is unknown whether ATF agents or Branch Davidians fired the first shot) and ended with the burning and shooting deaths of David Koresh and 75 others.[21] In March 1993, McVeigh visited the Waco site during the standoff, and then again after its conclusion.[22] McVeigh later decided to bomb a federal building as a response to the raids.

MATERIAL

McVeigh and Nichols purchased or stole the materials they needed to manufacture the bomb, which they stored in rented sheds. In August 1994, McVeigh obtained nine Kinestiks from gun collector Roger E. Moore, and ignited the devices with Nichols outside Nichols' home in Herington, Kansas.[34][35] On September 30, 1994, Nichols bought forty 50-pound (23 kg) bags of ammonium nitrate from Mid-Kansas Coop in McPherson, Kansas, this would be enough to fertilize 4.25 acres of farmland at a rate of 160 pounds of nitrogen per acre; an amount commonly used for corn {2000 pounds of AN divided by (160 lb/acre divided by 0.34 lb N/lb AN) equals 4.25 acres}. Nichols bought an additional 50-pound (23 kg) bag on October 18, 1994.[23] McVeigh approached Fortier and asked him to assist with the bombing project, but he refused.

Oh wait, your post wasn't clear to me. Ya ofcourse the bombing was done in a similar way.

Odd, I live in Northern California and I didn't even hear about it.

Wow, that picture is incredible.

This happened near me.

The town it happened in only had a population of 2500 people.

5 volunteer firefighters who had been helping put out the fire before the explosion are still missing and presumed dead

60 homes are destroyed

a two story apartment/hotel building was destroyed

a nursing home was destroyed

be careful, they'll hunt you down screaming 'conspiracy theorist'.. especially if you start talking about WHY these guys were so pissed off.. that info doesn't even begin to cover it

Really a very tragic situation.

most of the people there have roots in czech republic, buh s vama bratri a sestry!
