Obelix Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 The US really isn't having a good time of it lately... could be many dead from a factory explosion. http://edition.cnn.com/2013/04/18/us/texas-explosion/index.html?hpt=hp_t1 It's heartening to hear though that the all volunteer firefighters are turning away help, having had so many turn out to help them. Let's just hope that there are not that many casualties although that sounds unlikley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Bourne Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Links? Fertilizer plant cited for '06 permit violation I made it up. It was a very poor attempt at humour and I am deeply embarrassed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bypassblade Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Damn it was massive. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e4d_1366268895 I have seen the video god it's horrendous, what gets me about this forum is double standards (this is not a dig at you Ticker). You only have to see the blast to imagine the devastation & people have lost their lives, apparently possibly firefighters also, and we have people making jokes about it. But when it was a certain ex MP there was moral indignation, cast on anyone who joked about it, this is just an absolute tragedy. May they RIP and lets hope not too many deaths.

You won't get much applause from that speech..not on here you won't. You're right though, absolute moronic responses. Volunteer fire fighters dead within the blink of an eye and even recorded. I guess the voyeurs will be looking on youtube for something a little more graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've just seen the video reports on the news, that was one enormous bang. Leaking ammonia causing a BLEVE sounds very plausible, just like Flixborough did. I hate to think of the casualties have seen that apartment building that seems to have been shredded - it's not looking at all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
