Caller on the scene with Cavuto says he has definitely seen one body bag being loaded and thinks there may have been another one.

I don't know anything about anything but that just doesn't look like your typical industrial explosion and fire.

Ask anyone from Houston, this looks like a perfectly normal plastic refinery explosion/fire. They happen regularly. The big difference is the Firefighters there are specialists in dealing with chemical fires and can get them out faster.

Unfortunately I don't think you can have an explosion this massive without casualties. We should pray for their families.

Nice to meet you.

Thanks for a ray of sunshine at this time regarding President Bush's poll numbers. We can be sure the press will do everything they can to convince people they didn't like what they heard. Anyway, thanks for a spot of good news.

I'm from J-ville. The only time I ever got pulled over for speeding was when I was on my way home from New Bern and didn't notice the speed limit reduction as I headed into town. He didn't give me a ticket, though. :-)

CNN quotes police as saying several dead. I'm just quoting what they say on their web site.

Moderators have apparently pulled post 121.

Would you care to elaborate? Considering that you haven't posted anything but your assertion and this follow up note, I have to truly wonder whether you're here more as a disruptor than anything else, yes?

You've been asked by several people here to explain yourself. Add me to that chorus. Where is your information coming from - other than your fanciful imagination?

No one appears to being taken out of building after helicopters sitting there most of the afternoon once the initial patients were taken to hospitals.

I don't know that they'd dance around this the way they are given that probability. I have a real bad feeling about this...

I just had to post those great numbers because AOL usually has very poor numbers for W lately, Just 4 days ago the numbers were reversed so I hope most that watched last night got the real picture and understand how important it is to stop this guy (Saddam) before it's too late.

Someone on Fox now saying he has seen a body bag brought out.

So sad.

That is true. I suspect they are trying to be somewhat sensitive to the families. It really looks ominous.
