An explosion at a chemical plant in Texas killed about 70 people.

The ambulance service head, George Smith, said that an explosion in Texas killed about 70 people. Rescue services, in turn, talk about the death of 5 firefighters and 1 police officers who worked at the scene.

TV channel ABC reports 200 injured. 40 people are in critical condition, said Gail Scarborough, a spokesman for the public safety department.

Authorities are asking residents to leave the city. The population of the West, where the plant is located, is 2,8 thousand people. The US National Weather Service reports a toxic cloud that is approaching neighboring communities. In addition, the danger of a second explosion remains.

Tommy Muska, the mayor of the city of West, gave a press conference three hours after the explosion, telling reporters that he did not know the exact number of dead and injured. However, he confirmed that among the victims were residents of the nursing home. Some of them were under the rubble. According to him, all 133 pensioners were evacuated, including the disabled: “We got there and took care of them.” He also said that buildings within a radius of five blocks from the plant were badly damaged by the blast wave.

According to various estimates, from 75 to 100 houses lie in ruins. 10 buildings are on fire, including urban high school, local media reported.

In an interview with The Associated Press, one of the residents of the city, teacher Debbie Marak, said that schoolchildren had told her about the smoke near the plant. Children according to the authorities claimed that the company would soon explode. “It was like a tornado. The surrounding objects rose into the air. The windshield knocked my windshield, ”describes Marak, an 58-year-old.

The explosion occurred in 7: 50 local time. What was the cause of the incident is still not clear.

        in a row explosions suggest intentional destabilization

        A repetition of an old script in a new way? Boston explosion, Texas explosion, plus poisonous letters - everything is like in 2001: "18.04.2013/03/59, Washington 04:XNUMX:XNUMX A suspect was arrested in the state of Mississippi for sending letters with a poisonous substance ricin to the US leadership, according to the American TV channel. NBC citing FBI sources The letters were written by Kenneth Curtis of Tupelo, Mississippi.
        According to law enforcement agencies, letters addressed to US President Barack Obama and Michigan Senator Roger Wicker contained an identical final sentence - "to witness evil deeds and not stop them is to become an accomplice." In addition, both letters contained the phrase "I am KC and I approve this message", which is a variation of the "signatures" of the election "slogans" of politicians in the United States, including Barack Obama. to the President was intercepted at a correspondence center outside the White House. The letter for Barack Obama was sent with the designation of the return address - from Memphis, Tennessee. The letter to R.Wicker did not contain a return address. Meanwhile, the FBI confirmed that the letter addressed to B. Obama contained traces of ricin. Http://www.rbc.ru/rbcfreenews/20130418035904.shtml

            I would not want to, Venezuela is very pretty as a socialist country. and the United States itself won’t go into this open political suicide - all Latin America will react negatively to this. and it’s not Asia, it’s at their side. all the more so right now Venezuela has a c300. more likely if Colombia is poisoned. but an attack requires a multiple advantage, and there the situation, as it were, to say the least, is ambiguous.

              In principle, the flower revolution in Venezuela has apparently already failed, the chavists did not flinch, but they can announce that the explosions were organized by Maduro and will untie their hands. Alarming, but not hopeless. Well, Kopriles, as usual according to the behest of the rabbi, in particular, acquired an apartment in New York, i.e. apparently allocated by the State Department baksheesh for "flowers" and, above all, the bribery of the security forces was rubbed off and it turned out to be a miserable sight.

        Surely they will say that an accidental explosion



        Nitrogen compounds form the basis of all explosives and rocket fuel. There was already a case in Texas when a rocket fuel plant exploded - the dead were not counted due to the absence of anything suitable for counting at the bottom of the funnel. So everything is very serious.
        Well, ammonia in the atmosphere is also not good. We are waiting for not just acidic, but very acidic rains all along the coast.

          The Abama administration pushed through sequestration. The military and, especially, the arms lobby do not like this at all. An image of the enemy, great and terrible, is urgently needed. Al-Qaeda stopped rolling, it became very manual, quiet and calm, just one text and no matter what.
          Now another enemy will be presented on a silver platter. For example, Syria, Iran, Korea, Russia and China, as their patrons. The hysteria will flare up with renewed vigor, the military budget will not just fill up, it will swell and everything will be okay (in American way).
          What a policy! Nothing new, everything has already passed!
          Now you can minus. I don’t feel sorry for them !!! They shouted "OK" together when they ironed Iraq, Libya, Serbia. Now "OK" shit in Syria. Lies heavily mixed with blood are approved by American society. We can burn and kill, but do not touch us. We are an example of democracy!

          Or maybe as we have with pedestrian arrivals by drunk drivers. After all, they always ran in, the media were not particularly noisy. And here the new law needed to be pushed to toughen punishments and immediately began to show on television here and there they ran into the kids, then there. In the end, it turned out that the law was dragged almost without pain for government authority. I cannot rule out the possibility that the amers want to push the law on drones over large cities, which the people do not like.

      Latest Explosion News

      Visitors to the Reddit collective blog and 4chan imageboard vividly responded to FBI requests to help investigate the Boston attack. The feds most likely expected eyewitnesses to provide them with photo and video evidence, but the Americans went even further. Anonymous online forums may have identified specific criminals who staged a terrorist attack at the finish of the marathon.

      So, 4chan users, mainly involved in trolling and production of demotivators, studied gigabytes of pictures and video materials taken at the scene of the tragedy. Attentive users drew attention to a strange man in a white cap, dressed in a black shirt and black pants, behind whose shoulders there is a huge backpack. The criminologists found a similar bag at the scene of the explosion. However, the suspicions of voluntary police assistants generally concerned all people with large backpacks.

      The image can be enlarged, click RMB and then open the image.

      Anyone with a large bag will automatically fall under the supervision of users

      While investigators are figuring out how true the 4chan'ers assumption is, users themselves argue about the veracity of their theory. The main argument of those who believe the "black" man in a light headdress is guilty of the death of three people is the fact that in some of the photographs he was filmed without the ill-fated portfolio.


      Portfolio completely disappeared from the back of a potential criminal

      Their opponents argue that the attack was arranged by a completely different person, also supporting his version with evidence. The initiative group created a table using the Google Docs service, in which the opinions of all participants in the discussion are recorded.


      These people lead the "rating" of suspects

      A similar discussion has also unleashed on the Reddit platform. Some bloggers, however, were skeptical about the behavior of "online detectives". "Who knows? You may not be lucky and someone will consider your pet a terrorist. I have seen at least 10 people suspected on the Internet, and I can say that not all versions have the right to exist. You have to be very cautious, accusing someone of killing three and injuring hundreds of people. You can't just rely on a person's location and the presence or absence of a backpack, "- said one of the critics in the topic findbostonbombers.

      On April 17, media reported that police detained the first terrorist suspect. Nevertheless, Boston law enforcement officers soon denied this information. The explosions at the finish of the Boston marathon thundered on April 15. 3 people, including an eight-year-old child, were killed, more than 180 were hospitalized. Many victims of the attack have lost limbs. There were no Russians among the victims.

      Looking through these photos, who else will have doubts that the explosions were prepared by the military? look how they are standing, how they are dressed.

        Ammonium nitrate is self-sufficient for an explosion. And during the explosion of ammonium nitrate, nitrogen oxides are released, which are very unfavorable for breathing.
        An explosion of potassium, sodium or calcium nitrate requires fuel mixed with nitrate in advance.

        Epicenter - two hundred meters.
        The zone of complete destruction is up to a kilometer across.
        Impressive.
        But this is not the topic of today's incident, already in 1988, as can be seen in the title of the video.

    After the bombings in Boston, explosions thundered in Atlanta and Santa Clara. So, in Atlanta, the explosion occurred during a motor rally.

    The explosion injured one person. The police say that he opened a package, after which an explosion occurred. A man with burns was taken to the hospital.

    Currently, police are finding out what was in the package. The street on which the incident occurred is blocked.

    Atlanta police are on high alert in the light of the events that happened the day before in Boston. And in northern California, the transformers of the largest electricity supplier company, PG & E, were shot at by unknowns, after which one of the company's key substations caught fire.

    PG & E executives called on Silicon Valley residents, where transformers were installed, to reduce energy consumption. A company spokesman, Jason King, commented on the situation, calling the incident an act of vandalism.

    He said that a fire that broke out at the substation caused a cooling oil leak. “Early in the morning, shots were heard at the facility,” he said. The company continues to assess the damage caused.

      And in Texas, by chance, did not the "Branch of David" frolic? Tomorrow is just the twentieth anniversary of the storming of their sect in Waco:

      The Siege of Mount Carmel (Siege of Waco; Eng. Waco Siege) - A siege by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation Mount Carmel Estate in Waco, Texas, where members of the David Branch religious sect were in 1993. During the events killed 79 members of the sect.

      The siege lasted 50 days and ended in an assault in which about 700 people took part with the support of tanks and helicopters. During the assault on the estate, a fire broke out. According to the official version, the sectarians set themselves on fire. Survivors and critics claimed that the fire occurred as a result of the use of explosive gas.

      This explosion really fits into a series of recent events in the USA - finding a moron with matches is not a problem, the main thing is that he strike them at the right place and at the right time.

    The question is, was this really a fertilizer plant? It's just that we also have a lot of "fertilizer plants" where different types of weapons are fertilized simply by technology. It's just hard to imagine that manure would be paired with frames so 3,14 # "No."

And it seems that there was a gas explosion at a plant in Oklahoma, but so far there is little information.

    Innocent people died, but you have some kind of feeling.

    But we had the Sayano-Shushenskaya, Nevsky Express, terrorist attacks in Moscow, the Caucasus and what poor 3.14indos oh how sympathized with us? Nonsense! Therefore, ordinary innocent people there just want to say, run away from your creep, rolling along an inclined country, there is still an opportunity. I recalled an article on this site. The pilot who took part in the bombing of Hiroshima was asked if he repeated what he had done in August 1945, to which he said yes, yes. So what kind of sympathy can be discussed at the moment.

    Well, in fact, this is still the most powerful explosion that Texas has experienced, there was a more terrible tragedy there, and let's just say, somewhere in the late 40s, a Liberty class ship (about 10000 tons of displacement) also caught fire on the coast in Texas. filled with silitra (from Chile to be precise), well, firefighters came to extinguish from all over the area, well, at the time of flooding the hearth with water, an explosive reaction occurred, it burst so that it blew the whole city ... it seemed close to the "Kid" which was blown up over Nagasaki, so, in principle, the tragedy has long-standing roots, it can be seen that there is still not everything in order with the safety equipment there ...
