Explosion in Texas
12 years ago
General
So apparently a fertilizer plant in Texas exploded, killing up to sixty people....
My heart goes out to those of you with friends and family in the area.
But, since I've seen people saying this is another terrorist attack, I want to make it abundantly clear that this was in all likelihood an accident. Several of the more common types of fertilizer are explosive, like sodium nitrate (saltpeter, one of the ingredients in gunpowder).

no pun intended
Still, quite the unfortunate event.... I do hope that everyone who's not already dead survives with no lasting injuries!
