Reading on twitter that a large swath of West is leveled. Not good. http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/Explosion-Injuries-Reported-At-West-Fertilizer-Plant-203505331.html There were reports that people were trapped in the nursing home and in an apartment building.
Scanner traffic indicated that some residents of both the nursing home and apartment building were severely injured. Shit. 
Very very bad. It's pretty windy right now too, so fires could spread quickly. If the Czech Stop is gone, I may cry. |

If you sensitize ammonium nitrate, all you need is an ignition source. What does that? Better question is how can that happen accidentally in a fertilizer plant? There was a fire. |

Tinfoil fuckers need to GTFO.
It was a fire and an explosion. Tragic accident, not an Obama plot. Jesus H. Christ.

Looking at the clouds, I'm wondering what the weather was like, could there been a lightening strike?
Listening to the scanner, people still trapped in a rest home. Bomb squad is on their way. Bad deal

These were exactly the types of attacks we were told to expect post 911. |

In my experience , FERTILIZER in and of it's self , IS NOT explosive , WILL NOT burn. There may be some specific blends that will , but I've been in the fert, business 25 years. After OKC we tried EVERY concivable combination , of probable ways to cause a fire/explosion (on a SMALL scale).
There was NOTHING we mixed up that would explode or EVEN burn , without an external source. ammonia nitriate , urea , postasium , phosphate , sulphur , boron ETA: if they had an anhydrous leak , BAD , BAD  doesn't get much worse than that.
