4/17/2013 11:22:01 PM

this may be worse than the bombings as far as casualties

4/17/2013 11:55:40 PM

there is no way that anyone within a couple hundred feet of that survived

4/18/2013 12:01:52 AM

holy shit

I doubt there were people within a few hundred feet besides police and firefighters. It's not like this is a major metropolis.

4/18/2013 12:14:17 AM

A local Texas station is reporting 70 killed. The actual emergency news feed has confirmed at least 5 FF and 1 police officer.

4/18/2013 12:40:43 AM

they said people heard the explosion as far as 45 miles away

^^^wow

4/18/2013 2:01:44 AM

4/18/2013 2:14:41 AM

How could someone sneak that much fertilizer into a warehouse?

4/18/2013 2:16:08 AM

I blame Janet Reno

4/18/2013 6:02:02 AM

Now I finally know where the Cheyenne Government stored Hawkins nuke

4/18/2013 7:08:19 AM

Nice spell check, CNN

4/18/2013 7:36:46 AM

i haven't had coffee yet, what am i not seeing in that post?

4/18/2013 7:40:12 AM

If you see a plant on fire, why the F would you get that close to it? Maybe I'm paranoid because of the West Pharmacuticals explosion near home, but good lord... Have some common sense, people

This week is doomed

4/18/2013 7:53:18 AM

4/18/2013 9:38:53 AM

They said it measured a 2.0 on the richter scale!

4/18/2013 9:42:03 AM

$20 says GenieXBoy thinks it was a missile sent to prevent someone from leaking the obvious proof that the Boston bombing was a government conspiracy.

4/18/2013 5:47:31 PM

well he's still pretty sane compared to most people who cite internet polls as evidence

4/18/2013 5:55:57 PM

The picture from the OP is not from yesterday's explosion:

Related: The Hickory Springs Co. in Conover, NC makes a large majority of "memory foam" on the consumer market. They have trains full of liquid cyanide pulling into that place (it's one of the primary ingredients) It is commonly understood among residents that if that plant ever catches fire you "Get the fuck outta dodge..."

4/18/2013 9:29:49 PM

I used to lived in Conover. We never talked about what would happen if the place caught on fire.

4/18/2013 9:35:29 PM
