Waco Texas explosion and fire near a fertilizer plant

[Muslim]

"At least 50-60 homes heavily damaged, a school burning, said a huge explosion was heard, 150 people injured, nursing home on fire."
And on top of that here comes a weather front to help it.
Heres the news link:
ALSO: between 5-15 people have been killed

I cant believe how a 2nd explosion happens so suddenly a few days after the Boston bombing.

yeah youve got to think that this has to be coordinated somehow.

some guy posted this in a thread on /pol/ so there are plenty of reasons to not believe this


that said they're currently evacuating the entire town of 3000 people, I don't know much about farming but i DO know that the possible chemical fallout from a fertilizer plant wouldn't kill anyone and it would only last for 10 minutes. It appears that there is a second tank of stuff that hasn't blown yet

also OP your casualty numbers are really lowballing it, everyone else has casualty reports in the 60-70 range

Damn. That's a devestating explosion.
I'll admit, I'm surprised that there wasn't a larger scale evacuation when the fire was that size, since a fertiliser plant does have numerous explosive materials within them.

But wow, it's a shame it happened.
Sad to hear it's taken lives and injured others too.
