"NYC Increases Subway Security After Safety Threats"
Thursday, October 06, 2005ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK — Authorities stepped up security on the city's mass transit system Thursday after receiving a credible threat that the New York City subway may be the target of a terrorist attack (search) in the coming days."
An explosion in a propylene line between 3:05 p.m. and 3:10 p.m. engulfed much of the Formosa plant in smoke, said Andrea Morrow, a spokeswoman with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which was notified by the plant shortly after the blast.

SPECULATION-OPINION: Pumping up the jihadis and the jihadi supporters, maybe.
OPINION: Yep, the number 19 is symbolic.

19. That number 19 always reminds me of "The Magnificent 19"

I will surely cast him [the unbeliever] into the Fire. Would that you know what the fire is like! It leaves nothing, it spares no one; it burns the skins of men. It is gaurded by 19 keepers.
We have appointed none but angels to gaurd the Fire, and made their number a subject for dispute among the unbelievers, so that those to whom the Scriptures were given may be convinced and the true believers strengthened in their faith.
Quran, sura 74:31
I like the way this site is updating the details of the explosion in a timely manner:

The explosion was reported about 3:30 p.m. in the olefins 2 unit that had recently expanded by 1.8 billion pounds per year.
The 1,800-acre industrial complex on Matagorda Bay is Formosa's largest facility. It employs an estimated 1,500 workers. It is 100 miles southwest of Houston.
The company manufactures caustic soda, ethylene dichloride, vinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), suspension resin, ethylene, polyethylene and polypropylene.
The plant makes PVC and vinyl for floor and wall coverings. Formosa spokesman Roy Thibault told Houston television station KTRK that it wasn't clear what was burning and that the facility uses many flammable materials.
Thibault said the plant had been evacuated and emergency responders were on site, but further details were sketchy. At least 1,100 people work at the plant, with an average of 500 people being on site at any one time, he said.
Two ambulances have been called to the plant, the Advocate said.
Annette Mang, who said she worked for the city, said elderly people in the town were urged to shut off their air conditioners because of concerns about pollutants in the air.
Formosa Plastics Corp. USA, based in Livingston, N.J., is a privately held plastics and petrochemicals company formed in 1978. In additional to Port Comfort, it has facilities in Delaware City, Del., Illiopolis, Ill., and Baton Rouge, La.
Point Comfort, on the Texas coast, is 150 miles southeast of San Antonio. It is home to fewer than 1,000 people.
Nothing like Quran reading on this happy Ramadan holiday season, pbuh.
thanks a41!
I pray all our TMers who have to use the NYC transit system stay safe.
