The scanner traffic from on-scene fire and ems stated that a bomb had gone off in the plant.

"On April 16, 1947, the French cargo ship SS Grandcamp, anchored in Texas City, was being loaded with a cargo of ammonium nitrate fertilizer when a fire broke out on board."

If we find out the French were behind this recent explosion too, then it is so ON!

Yah, back that one time the French were right. Nice work Bill

e fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

[brettmojo]

Watching the news you'd think this'd never happened.

Maybe the blaze has it...infowars...false flag?

I think they lifted that video from The Usual Suspects.

[spoon]

I'm pretty sure the only reason the Boston "Explosions" got more press and attention is bc the Texas "explosions" were diminished with a lower case on ronfez.net.

Way to go CJ! You caused it all.

'Red flag': Texas plant had 1,350 times amount of chemical that would trigger oversight (http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/20/17838304-red-flag-texas-plant-had-1350-times-amount-of-chemical-that-would-trigger-oversight?lite)

The fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Yet a person familiar with DHS operations said the company that owns the plant, West Fertilizer, did not tell the agency about the potentially explosive fertilizer as it is required to do, leaving one of the principal regulators of ammonium nitrate - which can also be used in bomb making - unaware of any danger there.

Was Walter White behind the Texas explosions?

Texas fertilizer plant where blast killed 14 was repeat target of theft, tampering (http://openchannel.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/03/18040602-texas-fertilizer-plant-where-blast-killed-14-was-repeat-target-of-theft-tampering?lite)

According to one 2002 crime report, a plant manager told police that intruders were stealing four to five gallons of anhydrous ammonia every three days. The liquid gas can be used to cook methamphetamine, the addictive and illicit stimulant.

[Syd]

Well considering they were playing it fast and loose, no fucking surprise the place glassed part of the town while other people were robbing them blind

free market, it always works (except if it kills you)

[WRESTLINGFAN]

The fertilizer plant was insured for only 1 million

Id love to know how many inspectors on all levels were paid off

[hanso]

Schools damaged in Texas plant explosion to get $2.75 million from FEMA

[WRESTLINGFAN]

Nice !!!

They can buy new schoolbooks stating that The earth is 6000 and man walked with dinosaurs. Even better, we get to pay for it

[SonOfSmeagol]

it's for temporary classrooms and administrative buildings, which sounds like a good idea and is in line with one of fema's jobs. but what took them so long? explosion was in april. thanks for the emergency response fema.

This was not a natural disaster. This was gross incompetence by a greedy company and the US taxpayers will now be forced to clean up the mess created by a state that has very few regulations (and doesn't enforce the few it has).

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I believe states should be able to keep their own money, but if we tell Texas to fuck off should we do the same to people who decide to build houses in tornado alley or on the side of a hill prone to mudslides ?

When you have an all in taxpayer paying for other peoples woes hundreds or 3000 miles away, you can't pick and choose

You compare shoddy business practices to living in higher risk areas? C'mon man!

And Rick Perry peddles the state in radio ads in other states as if he is a one man chamber of commerce.

I have a hunch he is not running again due to his scandals.

Not only that, but because Texas has such few regulations ( which Rick Perry is using as a SELLING point) that company only insured itself for a million dollars; which means most everybody blown up by their recklessness will get nothing , as those assholes are bound to declare bankruptcy .

yep, it's fucking disgusting and pathetic


in the end this fucking company should have to pay every dime to fix everything if there was true justice, this knowing you can't bring back the dead, but we all know that's not happening.

I'll say, plenty o blame to go around

Why Didn't Regulators Prevent the Texas Fertilizer Explosion? (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=why-didnt-regulators-prevent-the-texas-fertilizer-explosion)

At least seven different state and federal agencies can regulate Texas fertilizer plants like the one in West: OSHA, the EPA, DHS, the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, the Texas Department of State Health Services, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Feed and Fertilizer Control Service.

Some of the agencies don't appear to have shared information before the blast

ya think?

OSHA conducted the last full safety inspection of the plant in 1985. "Since then," the Huffington Post reported, "regulators from other agencies have been inside the plant, but they looked only at certain aspects of plant operations, such as whether the facility was abiding by labeling rules when packaging its fertilizer for sale."

yet huff po says they "eluded" regulators for 20 years. I guess they hid that little ol fertilizer plant pretty darn well from 4 fed and 3 state agencies with authority to regulate.
:dry:

[Syd]

they're deliberately underfunded to prevent work stoppages

by the time anyone gets killed from anything, upper management has already moved on or retired

sort of like how the few non-union oil rigs/derricks have greatly higher worker death rates than union oil rigs/derricks

one is regulated by contract, the other is regulated by government
