[QUOTE=ScoutKing;40333868]whats weird is this isn't getting that much coverage when compared to boston.
Boston looks like a cake walk compared to do this
But Boston is a much more sensationalist story, while this is a more "shit happens" type story.[/QUOTE]
Both are equally horrific, but one was a domestic attack the other is a industrial accident. Both stories have been getting attention, is it just the fact that the Boston bombing has got a huge update of info from the FBI. Though I've seen the Waco explosion on CNN For the past hour or so with footage of the fire, areas of the town leveled, etc.

early estimate.
The first estimate is 60-70, its gone to 35. And realistically, i think it could still go up to the 60-70 range.
[QUOTE=TheJoey;40333712]so i dont understand why youd build a nursing home and a school, and so many homes, next to a fertilizer plant if shit can get this bad?
and why "west, texas" is in the east?[/QUOTE]
It's named after a dude named West.
Also I have to go through West to get to Fort Worth tomorrow, anyone know if I-35 is shut down there because of the explosion?

there will be ways round it.
Seems it is open, as is the only reason most people have heard of West.
