TX - Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

[PoirotryInMotion]

I can't find another live stream that's working... just this lovely blue screen.
I guess that settles the carpet or dirt debate! :giggle:

I noticed the same thing! (Think they knew I was dissing their carpet?) Was all set to take a screenshot and blow it up for a closer look [*ugh, pardon the bad choice of words]...and then it all went blue.

I think I'll try seeing if it's on TV at 8 PM. If not, Anderson Cooper has interviews then with various survivors, including the man and 12-yr old daughter who temporarily lost their hearing, and with a kid who saved his army vet granddad's life during the explosion.

I was just watching CNN and as they were interviewing the man and his daughter who filmed the blast about seven or eight emergency and police vehicles raced past them with sirens blaring...

Does anybody know what's going on?

So does someone have a link to another live feed?

No...(but hopefully they found a survivor??)

I'll check Broadcastify for scanner feed...

Did he have one daughter or two? Was it a new interview or the Today show one?

I thought it was sawdust.

I know it's frustrating not knowing how many fatalities, but I think they are doing a great job of protecting the victim's families from the media frenzy! They must have a place where families of the missing are gathered, but I haven't seen it reported anywhere.

It was live just ten minutes ago and he had one daughter. They were the ones who filmed it then she said she couldn't hear (she's ok now though).

Oh okay, they have just been showing the today show interview, so wanted to make sure it was new.
I don't know what's going on, can't find anything on the scanner either. :waitasec:

Weird...maybe we'll find out soon...it was several emergency vehicles. Anderson cooper had trouble continuing his interview for a minute there.

Somebody transcribe the press conference if it ever happens, k? :sigh:

Well, Anderson Cooper's West, TX show has been preempted by live breaking news that the FBI has released two video images of 2 Boston Marathhon bombing suspects - the guy wearing the backwards baseball cap (white) with gray backpack, and the guy with the black cap, bulky jacket, white shirt, khaki pants, and a backpack. Suspects at scene, moving in direction of race, within 12 minutes of first blast.

My head is spinning with all this...

Our Austin time Warner cable's own news network YNN is going live at 9:00 with West coverage. Maybe we'll get more info then.
