I just turned and looked out my office window and saw a column of black smoke rising towards Union Beach/Perth Amboy NJ.
I then felt the force of an explosion rattle my window.

I think terrorists are after something that has their signature on it.Also, a big body count.

Could it be caused by:
— The owners, to collect the insurance?
— Terrorists, to hurt the US?
— Peace activists, to hurt the US?

Screen shots from the news, anyone? I hear a bunch of choppers overhead here in southwest CT, probably news people heading there.

For those without TV right now, there's live video on MSNBC (sorry no fox):

Then click the box on the right, "Explosion in Statan Island."

That is one big damn fire.
55 thousand gallons of gasoline? I could drive my giant car at least a year on that!

Have you seen this?

Yes the night clubs are due to ignorance, but what i'm talking about is the big industrial fires. Theres another one that happened about an hour ago, I think somethings amiss. I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
To: JimRed
A terrorist/Al-Queda scenario would be to start this and suck resources away from Manhattan and then strike with a bigger hit.
To: AppyPappy
Isn't this the 2nd fire at oil refinerys in last few weeks?
To: Centurion2000
It does seem too coincidental that these tragedies - in Chicago, Rhode Island, Newark - all have occurred within the past week.

NYC is unaffected, things were more tense a week ago during the infamous 'duct tape' scare. But at this point we're all turning into honorary Israelis.
New Yorkers are bullheaded and tough - we do not scare easily.

1,000,000 gallons on the barge is what the expert on Fox is saying. Also said it looks like the barge was being loaded when something went wrong.
