Report: Explosion at fertilizer plant north of Waco, Texas

The West Fertilizer Plant is located about 20 miles north of Waco. A school and a nursing home are among the buildings near the plant.

Tommy Alford, who works in a convenience store about three miles from the plant, told CNN that several volunteer firefighters were at the store when they spotted smoke.

Alford said the firefighters headed toward the scene and then between five and 10 minutes later, he heard a massive explosion.

I heard the Czech Stop was ok.  That's good.  What a mess. Tons of buildings on fire, and people trapped.  Just dang.

This is turning into a huge disaster.  I just heard on tv that there were at least 70 dead and over 200 injured.  Dozens of blocks of businesses and homes  have been destroyed or damaged and a large area evacuated.

4:58 AM EDT: Contrary to earlier reports, a first responder source claims that no more than 20 of the 133 residents at the nursing home near the plant were evacuated. Approximately 100 people inside the home are expected to have died. Source says the dead will be left until daylight, then removed.
 
6:33 AM EDT: Breitbart News has contacted the two largest nursing homes in Clifton, TX to confirm that they received nursing home residents from West. An individual at Daybreak Venture Nursing Home in Clifton said the facility received eleven residents. Goodall-Witcher Nursing Facility said no residents from the West nursing home were transported to their facility.

The Waco explosion happened as locals prepared to commemorate the 76 men, women and children who died in the 1993 siege.

Up to 15 people are feared dead and more than 100 injured following the blast at the fertiliser plant in the town of West, 20km away from Waco.

The Waco siege ended 20 years ago this week, with a blaze that killed 76 including two pregnant women and more than 20 children.

So sad.  A buddy of mine is a Volunteer Fire Fighter for Mt. Calm.  He was over there last night, and will return today for search and rescue.  Houses just imploded.  Thank the lord it didn't happen during the day, as there is a school right across the train tracks from the plant.

Crazy to think my girlfriend and I were walking through downtown West just a few weeks ago.

I don't know who it was, but I heard a way too early disclaimer that it was not sabotage. Why even say that shortly after the explosion?

Texas fertilizer plant cited by state officials in 2006
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/18/texas-fertilizer-plant-cited-by-state-officials-in-2006/

Quote
The Texas fertilizer plant where an explosion killed as many as 15 people late Wednesday was cited by state officials nearly a decade ago for failing to obtain or to qualify for a permit, records show.

West Fertilizer Co. was cited by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality in 2006 after it received a complaint in June of that year of a strong ammonia smell emanating from the 1,500-square foot facility in a farming community roughly 20 miles north of Waco. Agency records indicate that the person who lodged the complaint said a lingering ammonia smell was "very bad."

All I have heard is that there was a fire.  The fire dept came to put it out, and the fire caused the explosion.

Westboro is anti-Christian. They have an anti-Catholic site that also is anti-Protestant and anti-Orthodox. They believe all Christians will go to Hell.

Wonder if anyone has ever escaped their clutches. Such incestuous relationships there, though I'd guess they'd have to recruit a few people along the way. Maybe they troll Stormfront or Infowars. Indoctrination starts so early, I'd think it would be hard to think for oneself.
