60-70 dead, hundreds injured, this is seriously fucked. I hope everyone here is okay.

video of explosion

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Fertilizer Plant Explosion Near Waco, Texas - YouTube

 

Holy ****. I saw that on the news a bit ago. That vid is unbelievable.

 

**** is crazy hope members on here near by are ok and feel bad how many people passed

 

matter of fact, I heard a loud thunder when I was outside when this happend all the way in Dallas wonder if it was the explosion

 

I have friends who have family members right near there. One who's Mother is in a Nursing home there. Collapsed structure, residents trapped inside. Another friend whose brother lives very close too & are ok but evacuated.

The local FD was already on scene fighting a big fire when the explosion went off. In the words of the fire Chief...."Not everyone is accounted for yet & several Members will not be here tomorrow."

 

Also hear the 2nd tank might go off any time soon but I hope not

 

considering this is the apartment building across the street, I don't think anyone near the fire would have survived the explosion. This is terrible.

Terrible news on this hope and prayers for those down there.
