texas fertilizer plant blows up

[south carmain]

Many people are reported to be injured and others are trapped in burning buildings after an explosion at a fertiliser plant near Waco in the US state of Texas.

Firefighters, ambulances and six helicopters have been mobilised to deal with the situation.

Several buildings are reported to be on fire, some of them in neighbouring residential areas, KWTX-TV reported.

The blast at the West Fertilizer plant was reported at 19:50 (00:50 GMT).

The cause of the explosion is not yet clear.

could it be related to the recent bombings? I don't see why they would attack a fertilizer plant but anything is possible I guess.

Thinking it's unrelated unless we have some Tyler Durden shit going on around the country

Well, it is a fertilizer plant. the only way to make it more volatile is to have it also produce nitroglycerin. Unless someone claims it, I chalk it up to a terribly unfortunate coincidence.

6M+ views? or Just didn't expect it to blow up like that? He was pretty far away.

The big question is why the hell does he have it on portrait mode?

He's lucky too, if he would have been closer the shock could have injured or killed them.

To be fair that was pretty far away. Who knew that a giant explosion was imminent?

I feel bad for the firemen that went to fight that fire :(

The plant was already on fire, and then it exploded.
