>> a train hit a gas truck, causing a massive explosion <<

There have been a awful lot of these type incidents lately, but they don't seem to be coordinated.........yet. Maybe they are and we're all missing something. Bottom line, be prepared.

Example, a train derailment could force me to have to leave within minutes (under 10 minutes). All I have to do is gather Clyde, get in the car, and drive away.

Excuse me for yelling, but folks....
BE PREPARED!

FBI warns US Police of Possible Terrorist Attacks (8/12/05 - from The Jerusalem Post)

By ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Aug. 12, 2005 2:51

The FBI warned local police agencies this week that al-Qaida-linked terrorists might use fuel trucks as weapons to attack Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, but officials stressed Thursday the warning was based on uncorroborated intelligence.

Using a computer network, FBI officials in Los Angeles passed along details Tuesday of a possible threat to law enforcement agencies primarily in California, said local FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.

Though intelligence bulletins usually say how reliable the information is, this particular bulletin had no such disclaimer.

The bulletin warned police that terrorists could use fuel tankers in future assaults in the three cities, according to a law enforcement source who asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the situation.

That warning has not been substantiated, according to a second law enforcement official who ask for anonymity for the same reason. It was unclear where the information originated and why the bulletin was sent without a statement describing its reliability.

From your link in 866, aren't there several explosions on this page, that we did not hear about?

Note that the Romulus fire is being investigated, seems the Foreman yelled at them to run.

There was an alert in the past few days from the gov that there could be attempts to derail trains.

The Denver KOA radio news is one, in front of an apartment house a 21 year old, white, skinhead, stabbed a Ten year old boy. and got away.

No known reason for the crime, no known connection.

Boy is still in surgery, guess that makes it hopeful.
