Atleast 2 dead in Cincinnati power plant explosion - Polidicks

[quote]CNN -- At least two people were killed Sunday in an explosion at a Connecticut power plant, police said. Two people have been confirmed dead, said Middletown, Connecticut, police Sgt. Chuck Jacobucci, but authorities expect the number to rise since they are still searching for people. More than 100 emergency service units, including fire, police and emergency management, were responding, he said. Middlesex Hospital in Middletown, about 15 miles from Hartford, Connecticut, said it was receiving patients from the blast, which occurred about 11:30 a.m. at the Kleen Power Plant. CNN affiliate WTNH-TV cited reports that houses near the plant had been damaged by the blast. The station reported the explosion was felt in towns as far as 15 miles from Middletown.

Fire and police officials in Middletown said there were "mass casualties," but no other details were immediately available. The site is a 620-megawatt gas-fired power plant, according to Holk. A local resident, Bernadette Nyland, told WTNH she was in her yard when the explosion occurred. "They were doing the firing of the engines this morning and so something went wrong and it blew up and flames came shooting up almost as tall as that stack," she told the station.[/quote]They have it on their website, but they're not even bothering to do a story about it live.

[QUOTE=Nitrowing;20084787]I blame the Transformers, those things are constantly blowing up.[/QUOTE] I know have you seen the movies, at least 10 blow up in each film. (No, I'm not serious xD)

I was hoping for a video. But I guess it happened with no warning so there wouldn't be.

Nothing has showed up on Liveleak yet.

Wow. How bad can you mix up Cincinnati with Hartford? :v: On topic: Mmm... at least it wasn't nuclear. The last thing the US needs is a Chernobyl

I don't know, I'm tired.

I live in Cincinnati, I didn't hear about any explosion on the local news.

OP is an idiot. Connecticut =/= Cincinnati. [editline]02:19AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Canuhearme?;20086538]I live in Cincinnati, I didn't hear about any explosion on the local news.[/QUOTE] That's because this was in Connecticut.

Good thing that the Bengals aren't in the Super Bowl today. EDIT: Wait, Connecticut? Damn you OP, I'm from Ohio, I don't give a damn about connecting or cutting.

Holy shit guys Cincinnati is breaking spacetime and becoming Connecticut.

[quote]Middletown, Connecticut (CNN) -- Police on Sunday retracted an earlier statement that two people had been killed in an explosion at a Connecticut power plant. Middletown police Sgt. Chuck Jacobucci said he misinterpreted something heard over a police radio, and cannot confirm any fatalities.[/quote] Hmm

[QUOTE=dryer-lint;20086841]Holy shit guys Cincinnati is breaking spacetime and becoming Connecticut.[/QUOTE]The explosion wreckage flew all the way to southern Ohio, killing a few extremely unlucky young men?

[QUOTE=PariahKing;20086948]The explosion wreckage flew all the way to southern Ohio, killing a few extremely unlucky young men?[/QUOTE] That actually seems more likely.

[QUOTE=Nitrowing;20084787]I blame the Transformers, those things are constantly blowing up.[/QUOTE] I bet Megatron have something to do with this... oh wait, I thought you meant Transformers, the robots.
