deport, the cars in the second picture look to be from the Fifties. Someone must have misidentified the picture as being from the 1947 explosion.

Which is, of course, not true - he had said 5 block area last night, and likely misspoke today.
But gosh, the precise wording of anyone not in the media needs to be blindly believed.

There you go with common sense again.
You know that’s not allowed.
Now run around in circles and PANIC! PANIC! PANIC!

I agree. While anything’s possible, it seemed like a fairly general comment on the 911 call. Seems like the fire just ignited the plant, but we’ll see. Way too early at this point to conclude anything.

Seems like the fire just ignited the plant, but well see. Way too early at this point to conclude anything. The key is what caused the fire. Did the report of a bomb occur when the fire first broke out ?
To: AnAmericanAbroad
Im sure the responder might have thought it was a bomb, but it doesnt mean that it was.True. That one ship of AN threw a 2-ton anchor more that 1.5 miles in Texas City. People in Galveston County thought they had been nuked.

Perry is BEGGING for money from the federal tit. No surprise. Perry wants Texas to be on it’s own but obviously the state is not able to be. Wanting and making it happen are too different things. Perry keep begging for the welfare. Texas will get it right one day....maybe.

At this point I would NOT conclude a bomb. There was one hell of an explosion though during a fire at a fertilizer plant.
I tend to agree with you, but one youtube video that I saw shows a bright light flash to the left of the main fire just before the HUGE explosion. Someone else posted a video comparing the sound of a JDAM prior to explosion and hinted that there was the same sound prior to the main explosion at the fertilizer plant.

That flash you see/saw...I noted it in another post as a volatile vapor flash. That's the ignition source, not a bomb. Something flashed over. I compare it to gasoline vapors flashing over to a gas can.
Under the right circumstances AA does explode. If a tank is leaking and the AA mixes with water...hydrogen peroxide forms...add heat from a fire you may attain a volatile vapor flash. I am not saying that is what happened as the plant had other chemicals onsight as well. But you have to consider what would cause two AA tanks to explode...which under normal circumstances pose no real hazard?

Makes sense. kinda like how you can put out a candle, light a match above the candle smoke, and the candle will re-light.
If it was the AA that exploded, that sure was a BIG BOOM!
