    Sometimes accidents do happen. Timing seems a little too coincidental.

    And I don't know if the Ricin attacks are related or not. But domestic or foreign, seems like we are in the middle of something very well coordinated that caught us completely by surprise.

    You remember what a truck with a few hundred pounds of fertilizer did in OK City...I can only imagine what a whole plant of the stuff would be like.

    Raw video. It's chilling.

    Same video pretty much. That is absolutely unbelievable.

    That video. Holy shit.
  • gut
    Yeah, he's a lot closer than I would have been to a frickin fertilizer plant on fire.

    They are saying there is still another massive storage tank at risk from the fire.

    I'm one of those people that likes to watch powerful forces of nature such as lightning storms, tornadoes, fire, etc. But I feel like I'd be smart enough to realize that if a fertilizer plant or any other plant that has a propensity to blow up in a big was on fire I would not want to be close to it.

    I feel bad for the kid in that video. Hopefully neither the adult or anyone else in that vehicle was injured.

    I don't think there's anything to it. Just so happened that a fire started in a place that is flammable/explosive as fuck

    That's what I'm thinking. Don't think someone would really try to blow it up by deliberately starting a fire. Don't know if it was in TX, but a similar incident happened back @2001, supposedly.

    CNN Breaking News just tweeted that 2 people are dead.

    I've seen MULTIPLE reports that at least 70 are dead.

    Sounds like the plant may have been on fire for some time, so hopefully it was evacuated. But who knows how many people were there fighting the blaze.

    Saw that this is of the plant. Doesn't look like the smoke after some of the other photos but dang.

    Seen multiple tweets that this is NOT from the plant.

    Cool, I saw it in quite a few places but like I said, didn't look like the other smoke photos I had seen so wasn't sure. Thanks for confirming.
