They are just saying that the red helicopter is from there. Evidently it's leaving.

The plant made plastic fitting for IV steups and plastic syringes. It does not make what we would call pharmaceuticals. This is just a plastic plant explosion. That is not uncommon.

Oh, sorry. That's what I get for trying to do a lot of things at once.

Channel 11 is saying that they are backing off the reports of fatalities.

This is just a plastic plant explosion.

Not that I hope for any explosion, but a garden-variety plant explosion is much more preferable to the bad guys trying to get one over on us...

Mum's the word.

I'm glad to hear the news that they may be backing off the reports of more fatalities.

This looks very, very bad. WRAL is still talking about there not being a "great sense of urgency" to the emergency crews, and repeating for family members to get to the church...
