Apparently, the plant exploded while firefighters were trying to stop a fire?
EDIT: "Fire officials fear that the number of casualties could rise as high as 60 to 70 dead, said Dr. George Smith, the emergency management system director of the city."

Also, I really don't like sounding like a conspiracy theorist, but it's the 20th anniversary of the Waco siege.

- zjosephson 14y agoYeah, the radio report that I heard said that the firefighters responded to the initial fire and then after they had arrived, the tank holding the fertilizer exploded so there is a very good chance than some of the first responders are among those injured or dead.
