This was a massive explosion at the West Fertilizer plant. It was heard over 45 miles away.

Thought I'd add the address into Google Map, to have a look at surrounding area.

Location    West Fertilizer Co,
1471 Jerry Mashek Drive,
West, Texas, United States

Now how on earth does a Fertilizer Plant used to produce ammonium nitrate, get placed not only near a residential town, but between two schools, a rest home and a hospital??  :bhead

No wonder the death and injury toll is so high.

In my town in the UK they built a Oil processing plant next to a Primary school, 100 yards from it, divided by a wire fence :old:

It was in a poor part of town, I am not sure if that means anything :old:

Why were those buildings allowed to be constructed near the plant?

Texas has had this happen before.. Ship carrying Ammonium Nitrate caught fire, blew up in a Texas harbor, BOOM! (Galveston?) leveled Most of the city.. Have an old Documentary series called "Survival", narrated by Spencer Tracy, has an episode about that..

Wow! :pray

This was an industrial accident. Fertilizer is wicked stuff when things go wrong.
