Two fires? Could be coincidence.

I hate to say this but both this fire and the one in New Jersey could be the work of terriorists! I pray for all of our safety!

Two explosions in one morning...either a coincidence, terrorists, or time for tin foil? :o/

[AlextheWise1]

hmm TWO industrial fires today, that cyanide thing yesterday, that plant explosion in Carolina a few days ago.... More reporting, or a sabotage campaign

Near Midland TX?

Well, I'm checking my supply of Reynolds Wrap.

Don't know, but fire sure seems to be the theme for the day.

I know they happen every day, every where, but we've got a BIG one burning in Staten Island right now.

I am probably just on edge from all the people that were burned to death last night in RI. Trying to stay calm.

OK, now I'm gonna check my supply of duct tape...

And another one in the Gary/Chicago area just a few days ago?! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...............

Careful- if you think for yourself and question anything without waiting for the official explanation, you'll be accused of being a Chicken Little spreading panic and spinning conspiracy theories :)

Too much of this in too short a time period these last couple of days. I'm going to look like those kids in Signs pretty soon.

I hope a nuclear plant isn't next!

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

maybe. maybe not. Does the explosion in Kentucky yesterday, and the pharmaceutical company last week factor into this 'coincidence'? If only they had the sense to stock up on their duct tape and plastic sheeting, this wouldn't have happened. Sure, it's all 'a coincidence'. I'm convinced. yep.

That's what the headline says. Not Midland MI nor Midland WA.

[mewzilla]

LOL. Thanks! None of that off brand stuff for my tin chapeau.

(no, I'm not following you around...)

I had said on one of the Staten Island fire threads that I'm holding judgement on things.. My hold is slipping... This is one weird news day at any rate...

Reed Alert just for a Burning America.
