UPDATE: Numerous Injuries Reported In West Fertilizer Plant Explosion
http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/Explosion-Injuries-Reported-At-West-Fertilizer-Plant-203505331.html
Just heard over scanner there will be 9 air rescue landing at West High School.
First the incident in Beaumont, then this. What’s going on in Texas? Oil patch people need to be on the alert.
Looks like anhydrous ammonia trailers by the fire. Very dangerous.
We are just two days away from the Waco Branch Davidian Compound and Oklahoma City bombing anniversaries....fertilizer bomb, remember?
Praying
Prayers UP for everyone in Waco, Texas..please be OK
Looks like when the SS Grandcamp blew on April 16, 1947 and leveled Texas City. She carried 2300 tons of 28% Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer. OK City bombing used the same fertilizer with a diesel fuel enhancement.
Yikes!
Watching the coverage on the Dallas TV stations now, and I saw two ETMC ambulances from my city of Tyler, TX on the scene there. Bear in mind Tyler is 130 miles from West, TX. They must be calling in ambulances from all over TX.
Now, they just said on Dallas Channel 4 that the EMS director of West, TX says there may be 60 to 70 people dead. So sorry to say.
Just heard from a friend whose wife delivered a baby today at Hillcrest Hospital in Waco (primary major hospital closest to blast site). Their nurse told them it is all hands on deck in the ER, and they’ve been told to anticipate over 100 fatalities.
When the big SHTF it will be days if not weeks before you know it. Our Media is so inept, I’m surprised anything is being reported at all about this because it doesn’t involve BO. Why isn’t this Major NEWS?
I’m watching some live local coverage but it is limited (never seen so many flashing lights in my life)
The Town has been demolished, many casualties ... I have A- blood, I’m taking a Road Trip. What else can I do?
This sucks
TT
Prayers being sent. Praying for all involved, injured, dead,families, emergency workers, hospital staff, the community, those who will be unemployed because of this.
So tragic!
