They said firefighters were tackling a blaze before the explosions occured so may not be terrorist related, unless it was started deliberately either as a diversion or knowing.it would cause an explosion.

Bombs are often made from fertilizer.
The date suggests something fishy going on though

I would be looking for the Boston Bomber in west Texas. I do hope it's not deliberate but coincidences like this?.

As tomorrow is the anniversary of Waco and Oklahoma, hmm too early to say anything. But if it was terrorism

Early reports of lots injured at fertilizer plant

I'm thinking its related, I honestly believe it could also be related to the Boston bombing. But we'll see.

My guess would be oklahoma, next.

Boston - due to the Boston tea party protest on patriots days.
Waco - tomorrow's the anniversary (could be a coincidence, however)
Oklahoma - Timothy McVeigh's revenge in 1995.


But it really could be a coincidence.

bad news

why does this get so much more coverage than 40 + deaths in Iran earthquake though.

Agree with the sentiment but I would imagine it's because the media outlets in the UK and the US probably share more information with each other.

Why do people always bring up this silly argument when it's an American tragedy? I just had a look back at what was posted on NSC around the time of the Norwegian massacres. Funnily enough no-one (including you Napper) was moaning that other tragedies were going relatively unreported although in July alone the number of deaths through terrorism was as follows:

55 Iraq
76 Afghanistan
41 China
68 Pakistan
60 Yemen

It almost seems like people love to have a pop at America at every opportunity. Hmm....
