Been thru this little burg many times. Seen the plant many times.
Nice folks, nice town. Not far from my beloved Fortress Hood or some of my old tavern hangouts in Temple either.

Best wishes and prayers to them.

No matter how you look at it, this hasn't been the best week we've had.

The blast registered as a 2.1 quake on the R scale. I only hope that it was a true accident, and not connected to the Lunacy in Boston, and the other distractions that have happened in the last week.

I am not a strong believer in "coincidence".

Highly toxic and highly explosive. Most plants are... and this one uses... did use.... anhydrous ammonia. Nasty schitze....it's a crack/crystal meth cookers delight.

And it's great for bombs. Or industrial fires and explosions when it accidently comes into contact with other chemicals, which I will not name. For obvious reasons. But evidence indicates Industrial accident at this point.

I don't like coincidences either but until a nexus is made it is what it is.

Ammonium Nitrate was one of their products. That's what was used at Oklahoma City. That was just 1000 lbs. There must have been hundreds of tons of it there.

I'm suspicious yes, but until they say otherwise, it's an accident
