    Texas Fertilizer Plant Explosion

    Explosion hits fertilizer plant north of Waco, Texas - CNN.com

    Youtube video: CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Fertilizer Plant Explosion Near Waco, Texas - YouTube <--- The guy is a moron for bringing his kids that close to the burning plant. He may not have anticipated the blast. But. all the toxic chemicals are extremely harmful.

    "A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant in the small Texas town of West left at least two people dead, leveled several homes and prompted a widescale evacuation in the community of 2,600 people.
    "It was a like a nuclear bomb went off," Mayor Tommy Muska said. "Big old mushroom cloud. There are a lot of people that got hurt. There are a lot of people that will not be here tomorrow."
    Fire officials fear that the number of casualties could rise as high as 60 to 70 dead, said Dr. George Smith, the emergency management system director of the city.
    "That's a really rough number, I'm getting that figure from firefighters, we don't know yet," he said.
    "We have two EMS personnel that are dead for sure, and there may be three firefighters that are dead."

    "Firefighters at the scene said they were concerned about anhydrous ammonia, a pungent gas with suffocating fumes that is used as a fertilizer.
    When exposed to humans, it can cause severe burns if it combines with water in the body.
    And exposure to high concentrations can lead to death."

    They are apparently evacuating because there's a chance that another that another tank might explode.

    I've been listening on the radio here in Texas and it seems 'safety' and ignorance is to blame here.
