West Fertilizer Plant explosion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can't believe there is already a Wikipedia on this

It doesn't sound like the fire is under control to me.

I heard it is contained. Contained means that they have it limited to one area and is different than controlled.

 

[eileenhawkeye]

A lot of people are going to be waking up to horrific news tomorrow

 

[MsFacetious]

I heard it is contained. Contained means that they have it limited to one area and is different than controlled.

But if it is even contained why are they requesting more fire dept help and fire dept people to return to West?
It sounds like something unexpected happened for them to require more assistance.
Probably the winds that were supposed to hit about now.

Reading around the web I have picked up some rumors.

One is the explosion came from one tank. Rumor says there is another tank.

Also of concern is the winds. The longer it burns, the more smoke and pollution, the stronger the wind the farther it go.

 

[MsFacetious]

Yes there is another tank, though earlier they said it was burning.
I REALLY think something else is happening.
I think the winds are picking up and maybe spreading the fire itself.

A lot of tornado like injuries. People hit with debris.

 

[MsFacetious]

They are all going to start winding down their coverage. Crap.

Here is that press conference from earlier with the DPS spokesman.

Here is another place for updates, not live stream but live blog.

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlin...ilizer-plant-explosion-injures-more-than-100/

There are a total of 172 people confirmed hospitalized with 23 more people en route/to be admitted.
At least 24 people are in critical condition and at 38-40 people are in serious condition.

That doesn't even count the ones they haven't found yet. OMG.
