Massive Fertilizer Plant Explosion Shakes Texas, Town Evacuated, Toxic Fumes, Up To 70 Dead - Live Stream

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In the aftermath of the Boston horrors, a massive explosion has occurred at a fertlizer plant in the town of West, Texas (near Waco). This week is the 20th anniversary of the deadly seige in Waco. There are at least 10 other buildings are on fire, including the town middle school, and a large swath of the town was “leveled” in the explosion. The explosion occurred around 7:50pm local time. A fireball of nearly 100 feet high has been reported along with a massive power outage. The images and scale of this explosion are incredible and reports are coming in people still trapped. The explosion could be heard from 100 miles away in Dallas. The explosion followed the outbreak of a fire at the plant - and occurred as firefighters were working on the blaze.

 

UPDATE: Entire town (within a mile radius) to be evacuated - toxic fumes may be spreading

UPDATE: Hospital told to anticipate 100 people with injuries, Hospital CEO tells CNN

UPDATE: Up To 70 Dead, 38 seriously injured included blast injuries, orthopedic injuries, large wounds and a lot of lacerations and cuts.

UPDATE: *AS MANY AS 80 HOMES DESTROYED IN TEXAS FERTILIZER BLAST: CNN

 

CNN Reports from Dr. George Smith, the emergency management system director of the city:

Fire officials fear that the number of casualties could rise as high as 60 to 70 dead,

 

"That's a really rough number, I'm getting that figure from firefighters, we don't know yet," he said.

 

"There are lots of houses that are leveled within a two-block radius," Smith said. "A lot of other homes are damaged as well outside that radius."

 

"It was an apartment complex that was devastated, and the nursing home. The fire was close to a residential area,"

And from the Mayor:

"There's a lot of people who won't be here
tomorrow
"

 

"Blast 'took out' a five-block radius"

Stunning clip of the explosion (at around 25 seconds)

Can't we all just agree that the big players in this world — whether they claim to be Jews or Christians or Muslims or radical Hindu cow-worshiping motherfuckers, or even Luciferian Reptilian goat sodomizers and whatnot — they all wanna fuck us ordinary proles just the same? They don't care three shits what you or Otto or anyone else on here believes. Am I right? They don't care that Francis is allergic to Jews, or that various ZH members dislike dark pigmented "urban-Americans," because in their eyes we're all shit.

If we're gonna splinter ourselves into groups we're just playing into their fucking hands, and they'll always find a way to rule over us. I'm drunk as fuck at this point, but it seem obvious to me that the only way we defeat these assholes is if we outnumber them, and that sure as shit won't happen if we're busy fighting amongst ourselves. I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but it just gets up my ass the way those of us who are awake to the scam seem to fall into the trap of targeting each other instead of the psychopathic motherfuckers who intend to enslave us.

Here endeth my fucking drunk rant.

Good grammar for being drunk.

 

BTW, I agree with you totally.

The saying 'divide and conquer' has been around for 2,000 years for a reason ... because it works.

So it doesn't matter what political party you are, whether you're well off or poor, what the color of your skin is, what race you are, or what your fucking preferences are, if you keep playing into their hands, they win ... game over.

My mom was a newspaper editor, and I got that OCD shit so I proof stuff a hundred times before I hit "save." You oughta see how organized I keep shit on my fucking computer. I'd embarrass the NSA. (Everyone wave to the NSA, cause you know those fuckers are watching)

Anyway, it just bugs the hell out of me the way we still manage to fight with each other despite knowing we should be on the same side. I'm not Jewish, but I've got enough jewish blood in me that I would have been sent to the damn ovens, but I don't hate Francis or Otto. And I don't hate Dave either. We're all on the same goddamn side people, that's what I'm trying to say.

Like the coach from Hoosiers said, I love you guys. We're gonna need to stick together if we're gonna get through what's coming.

I can't read anything on paper without wanting to whip out my red pen.   Concentration goes right out the window. That's when I turned to ZH, and the Tylers; because it was on the Interlinkxz.

Since all his ID is fake and he was created by the mossad or whoever, he cannot legally be impeached.

However, since we know from larry siclair of his proclivities, i bet 20 or so guys could rush the aids-ridden twerp and run him out of town peeing in his panties.

I'm sure the military will have no problem stringing him up by his balls for treason, impeachment or not if it is found out he helped expedite one of the bomber's one way passage out of the country. The pressure needs to be applied first from the outside in the light where it can't be hidden or explained away easily.

It looked as if they had at least one Anglo-Saxon military handler, and one lone clueless white scapegoat. (That would be the guy in the blue jacket with the facial hair standing around looking clueless. He is holding his backpack in front of him. If it contained a pressure cooker bomb and he was holding it in front of him it would probably be hanging down at his side. Instead it looks as if he is holding it waist high, which probably means it ain't all that heavy.)

I personally find it odd that Obomber had a meeting with a Saudi Prince today (off of the official schedule) and the Saudi "suspect" was rumored to be quickly deported.

It is remeniscnet of the 400 Israelis that were quickly deported immediately after 9/11. Can't have the perpetrators of the crime remaining in the country where some bumbling do-gooder can stumble over them and attract a lot of attention.

So, now we know that whoever they trot out as a patsy, it will be a lie and Obomber is now neck deep in it ... if he wsan't before. (Corexit cocktail anyone?)

Not only that, but these guys do eventually have to go back to their home states to get elected, and people are starting to get mighty pissed off about the lack of representation.

Interestingly, I think Obamacare will end up being a career-ending move for many of them, as full timers get moved to part time and single moms making 20K a year realize they're being given the choice of an extra 10% in taxes with no health care or spending 25% of their gross on insurance with a deductible that's another 25% of their gross.

I think both the represenatives and their electorate are waking up to the fact we're headed someplace they don't want to go.

Re: Something big is coming: Definitely had that feeling deep in the bones for about a week now; I don't think Boston is even an hor d'oeuvre. I attribute the feeling to a "6th sense," by which I do not mean something magical, but more an integration of information received from the other fives senses, thence integrated with life experience, and thus allowing a "curve smoothing" that allows some picture--of a probable outcome?--to emerge.

I'm not sure I believe in suitcase nukes, but whatever it is that would elicit a response similar to one being lit in, say,  Century City in LA, is what is coming...

I can actually feel a sense of "all is lost"; a sense that is similar in sensation to the feeling one gets when seeing the movie, The Road, and attempting to imagine just how they feel.

A suitcase nuke was "tested" on a bunch of Aussies in Bali a few years ago if you're interested in the results.

FYI, a modern plutonium pit is about the size of a tennis ball.

GE sold plastics (Massachusette based) to Saudi Basic industries).   12 of the hyjackers were Saudis  and they boarded in Boston Logan.   Social is going to get this false flag... It was a riot seeing Bloomberg on the tube using the inicendent with Deval Pactrick.. Patrick of couse prior to being Gov.  was the Corporate attourney or Coke..   Bloomberg take your giant soda and stick it...      It is reassuring to see GE capital get the reserves from Met Life...  It really makes me upset that evtery insurance comissioner in every state did not raise a peep about this...  Of course that means Home Depot and  other Plastic get junk credit cards financing highly reserved  life insurance and pensions... Talk about blowback from FED and QE X.infinity...     Crony capital at it's worse sad just like keping the TBTF alive.....  

Fertlizer plant explosion?    Aging  plants...   systemic risk of mall investment in millitary, education, media, and banking cartels...    It is my hope that it is not to late...

"About 10,000 gallons of oil began leaking Tuesday morning from a transformer at a San Jose PG&E substation"

Good that very few people know that substation transformers need to be cooled, and that that is done by oil, and that damaging the coolers with gunshots like in the present case is actually a VERY efficient way to black out an entire area.

You would NOT want this to be common knowledge, specially in a country like the US where so many citizens are armed, and the government is installing a police state...

A few "well placed" large calibre rounds could easily take down a substation from a mile or more away.  If I remember right, they use mineral oil in transformers.

True, but you can also do it without firing a shot, with no explosives, with no extortion, no threats, and no computer hacking. In fact you can take down the entire US electrical grid with little or no difficulty. I could do it with a couple of dozen men and no violence whatsoever. How? I'll give you a hint. Yugoslavia.

There was a guy (former worker sounded like) on one of the prepper blogs talking about exactly HOW to do that very exact thing - sniping power station:  where to hit, what calibre, how to approach, the effects, which substations are important in a chain....I would hate to be that guy right now.  The FBI won't stop the cavity search until they hit the back of his teeth.  That's why I never pontificate in the wilds of Teh Internets about all the cool stuff I know...

Nail bombs, fertiliser bombs, semtex bombs ...all this is used by sick people in order to terrorise ordinary people.

All this happened in Britain in the '70s and '80s too. History rhymes. The few seek to terrorise the many, for their own profit. Zionism is a nasty thing; confuse and conquer.
