"At least 10 structures are on fire in the town, including including West Middle School, 406 W. Shook St., and a dispatcher calling for multiple ambulances said “we do have a lot of injured here.”
“I live about a thousand feet from it and it blew my screen door off and my back windows,” Shelton said. “There’s houses leveled that were right next to it. We've got people injured and possibly dead."

As stated by the U.S. Geological Survey: [quote]The blast was so strong, it registered as a 2.1 magnitude earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.[/quote]

1 ReplyHow does a fertilizer plant even explode?

That really blows.

3 RepliesI'm surprised I haven't seen any (although I'm sure someone has) try to draw a link between the Waco Seige in the early 1990's and this. Waco is a small town, it is pretty crazy for them to have two incidents like this. Waco Seige ended around the same time in April as this bombing I believe too.

This Bombing has already been proven to be worse than the Boston one. 5-15 people are dead.. over 160 injured.. And this one could be a bad accident too.
-
I'm just surprised this hasen't gotten more news coverage. With all the flooding in Chicago and the bombing at boston, this has been a bad week...

4 RepliesI thought Ammonium nitrate by it's self is inert, right? It takes an oxidizer to become an active explosive. Depending on what you mix it with you get different types of explosive. Amomonium Nitrate mixed with aluminum powder gets you an explosive that reacts with impact, AKA Tannerite. Mixxing it with Diesel fuel gets you ANFO which is a high explosive. Does anyone know the chemistry of Ammonium nitrate exploding in a fire? I always thought it had to be mixed to be explosive.

whoever caused this is in real trouble. If it wasn't an accident.

9 RepliesI feel like a fertilizer plant should be built in the arse end of no-where

what the hell? did they mix things? why were they mixing things? where were the people supposed to oversee the guys to make sure they did it right?

Here's hoping no one died. ThT was a helluva explosion. Not PEPCON level disaster, but considering the proximity to the school, hospital, and surrounding neighborhood, we're very fortunate that hundreds weren't killed outright. The plant was closed, school was out, and most folks were headed home, so the timing was as good as it could have been. My prayers go out to the folks in West, Texas and the times they are facing ahead of them.
