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.

Yeah - watching it. This will not be easy to put out. There are a lot of tanks sitting there nearby.... So far a lot of the fire is on the water.... maybe they can keep it that way, but I don't see how.

My windows overlook the Brooklyn side of the Verrazano Bridge - huge stream of black smoke incoming....

Doesn't it look like that other tanker is catching fire, and the shoreline as well?
To: LonePalm
Reminds me of the Exxon refinery explosion (Elizabeth NJ) of about 20 years ago. That was an accident and the blast was felt for many miles.
To: LonePalm
Didn't they report last november that terrorists were going to drive explosive laden barges into docks?

Yea, it looks like this might not be that bad. The fire is on the water and seems to reducing in size.
Right now the more fuel that burns the better it is for the enviroment? Less long term damage?
