The explosion in West Texas at the fertilizer plant was felt as far away as 70 miles. Just wondered if you are far enough from the site to be safe?

Once again our thoughts & prayers go to everyone hurt & injured in the accident .This has not been a good week in America .We are hearing there could be over 100 killed . I hope that figure is wrong .

God Bless America.

Here's hoping Ted and everyone we know are safe. Others I fear are not. Take care.

That explosion was about 35 miles or so north of me. If I hadn’t been mowing the grass at the time, I’d likely have heard it. But as it was, I was unaware of it until someone called informing me. The local news networks have had around the clock coverage as search and rescue efforts are underway. Incredible destruction of the area for sure.


Prayers are out to all of those directly affected.

Its Fertilizer plants I work in in Austrailia, Chile, Morrocco, Florida China etc and my wife wants to know why I want to stay home and work out of my garage more, I know how dangerous they are!

God bless all who have to deal with these places!

I'm amazed at the location of that plant in relation to the houses and apartments. I expect the town had grown towards the plant but I would have thought there would be more knowledge of how dangerous they are. This isn't the first massive explosion of one of these plants.

Prayers are with the families and survivors. Chuck

Guess everyone forgot about Texas City. If that warehouse had been as confining as the steel hull plates of a victory ship, I doubt if anyone at that nursing home would have survived!
