Ah, yeah if the OP said West, TX then I would have understood.
I find lots of stuff on that scenario and it's been reported on a lot in the news....

Cronyn, Cruz, and rep Williams all in conf. 3 fire trucks and one ems vehicle destroyed in initial blast. Caught nippets as was getting ready to take wifey n for a biopsy. Still lots of investigation. Hope I've got this correct!

See Rio's post about the reporters there this morning and their reaction to the suspect's in the Boston Marathon Massacre. You could tell they were just sore as hell that they were stuck in some backwater like Waco when all the "real" news was happening in some great liberal mecca like Boston. No offense to all the great conservatives from Massachusetts that post here.

Waiting for OSHA to come in and fine the company out of existence.
Then it will be newsworthy.
Buncha Texians getting killed counts for nothing with the MSM.
Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place

Buncha Texians getting killed counts for nothing with the MSM. I was waiting for you to say that so you could take the hit for it but I could still comment.  So now that the cat is outa' the bag, so to speak... Boston is liberal and in a Blue State. Those folks are to be protected as a group. Texans not so much since y'all are a Red State. It's just a subset of Hillbill's old, "political friends are rewarded and political enemies are punished".

Waco = dead Texans
Boston = dead Democrats

The West, Texas explosion mystifies me. Who in their right mind would allow a fertilizer plant with 278 TONS of ammonium nitrate within the city limits, much less 2 block from apartments, 4 blocks from a nursing home and, 5 blocks from the only hospital in town. Someone needs to be fired!
Texas regulators last inspected the plant 10 years ago or so (discreteness were corrected by the operator), but the basic issue of a powder keg near people wasn't considered. This is similar to making sure pit bulls in the area of children have their licenses and then being surprised when a dog kills a child.

The Houston Chronicle is now saying 15 dead, 60 missing and over 200 injuries. They are still canvassing area hospitals to nail down the actual numbers.

The town built to the plant.Just about every small ag town in the us has the same thing going on. I farm but live in town. I am 4 blocks from dry fertilizer and 2 blocks from andhydrous ammonia storage. There are houses across the street from the dry fertilizer. Pretty normal in rural USA. ED K

And most of us run our heaters and cookstoves on propane. Lots of us have 500 gallon tanks which amount to bombs waiting to go off. Some have 1000 gallon ones. The farther away from your house it is the more line you have to run and the more line, the more chance of leaks. Leaks cause explosions. It's a Catch-22. It takes fertilizer to produce the agricultural products that feed our country and the world. Just how it is in rural America.

Well, we aren't expecting you to wake up any time soon.
