What's most curious about the Texas incident is that first you had a fire. The fire attracted first responders. Then, after responders arrive you had the fatal explosion killing many of them. This is a trademark of attacks in the Middle East. They bait first responders to the scene, THEN they blow them to bits with a follow-up detonation. This is what happened in Texas.
“first responders to the scene, THEN they blow them to bits with a follow-up detonation. This is what happened in Texas.”
That is alos how most fires and explosions happen. Have you ever watched the flight deck catch fire on the USS FORRESTAL? The flight deck Chiefs and crews all ran towards teh fires wiht extinguishers, then BLAMMO, in another world. I was just reading about an explosion at NAVSTA Norfolk during WWII, depth charges on dollys came loose and started smoking from the friction of the concrete, asst. fire Chief ran in to attempt to extinguish and BLAMMO, in another world.
“Assistant Fire Chief Gurney E. Edwards hurried to the scene and attempted to cool down the charges with a fire extinguisher. As soon as he started his attempt, the first depth charge exploded, killing him instantly. For several minutes, charges continued to explode. The blasts shattered windows up to seven miles away and were heard in Suffolk, 20 miles distant.”

Sometimes heros are the first to go for no other reason than they had courage to do the right thing.
