:wow:, that looks really bad.

Yeah, Waco at this time of year gets you thinking. I suppose sabotage has to be considered, but I'm assuming (hoping :sadcam:) terrible accident.

What a f'd up week. Monday - terrorism. Yesterday - earthquake. Today - ricin and now this. Can we just get through tomorrow and Friday unscathed?

West EMS Director Dr. George Smith says as many as 60 or 70 people died and hundreds were injured Wednesday night in a fertilizer plant explosion in West.

A rescuer earlier said he knew of five deaths.

Meanwhile, emergency crews were pulling back late Wednesday night because of concerns about the possibility of a second explosion.

Emergency crews from throughout Central Texas responded just before 8 p.m. Wednesday after the first explosion at the plant in the small town north of Waco.

The explosion was reported at around 7:50 p.m. in a frantic radio call from the scene of the fire at West Fertilizer at 1471 Jerry Mashek Dr. just off Interstate 35.

The fire started in an anhydrous ammonia tank and spread to the building, authorities said.
