WERE BEING ATTAKCED!!

MASS RABID PIT BULL ATTACKS BEING REPORTED

MARTIAL LAW IN EFFECT

EVERYONE FOR THEMSELVES!@@!@

SAVE THE BEER!!!!

LMAO

Look out for beer looter dude!!!!!!!!!!

That was not me you saw on TV at the local convenient store looting beer when everyone was being evacuated out of the area.

WAS NOT! You got that?

THIS IS YOUR FAULT YOU PIT BULL HARBORING TERRIST

Reminiscent of the great Praxair acetaline bottle blastoff of 2005.

Chopper 5 better back the hell off. Anything for a shot, I guess.

Thanks for posting, Mr. Cochise. That's a lot of smoke.

What sort of chemicals are we talking about here?

FAX

Nah they will get too close then sue for getting sick or something.

Stuff used in paint, and some automotive chemicals, etc.

I-35 is shut down at Armour Rd now.

I can see the flames across the river, the column of fire is enormous.

They just said intense chemical smell downtown.

oh sweet Jesus...the Egyptians chasing down the exodus of slaves were thinking the same thing...

Amazing. This episode reminds me of the tornado that came through downtown Nashville several years ago. I was able to watch it blow through the city from my office building. The tornado blew out hundreds of windows in the high rises and snatched up millions of 8x10 pieces of paper. The paper looked like giant flocks of birds circulating in the air.

From the wide shot on the feed, the smoke cloud is enormous. This can't be good. Is the wind blowing toward a populated area?

FAX

TELL ME WHERE THE PLANT IS

Did it leave the 8 1/2 x 11 paper be?
That is an amazing degree of discriminating taste for a tornado to exhibit.

still holding my breath

Been burning for over an hour, and the flames aren't getting any lower as near as I can tell. I wonder how long it will take for a huge store of chemicals to burn off on its own

Smartass. :)

Tornadoes are funny that way, Mr. Baby Lee. I'm sure you've heard stories about how a tornado will pick up some things and, inexplicably, ignore others.

For example, they'll pick up a house on one street and replace it with a barn from another town. Then, they'll pick up a car and replace it with a truck. Personally, I think that's why they should be called tradewinds.

FAX

Yea tradewinds have a great sense of humour.

Yeah, somewhere in my 20s, I must've been in a tornado, where my physique was traded with that of a menopausal wookie. Somewhere in the great northwest there is a sasquatch with the body of Brad Pitt.

That must have happened to me too. There's probably another sasquatch out there somewhere with a normal Man's manhood.

Well obviously the KC police didn't react fast enough to stop these guys...

Funny strange, Mr. BIG_DADDY. Not funny haha.

There's nothing even remotely amusing about Mr. Baby Lee swapping bodies with a smelly bigfoot.

FAX

So your nether region smells like Sex Panther by Odeon?

Didn't he get busted for headbutting someone the other day? Good thing he's an attorney already.

and suffering from a bad case of bitch tits too

Jesus H.

The news lady says to not go near it. Judging by the cloud of smoke covering downtown KC, I think a lot of people are going to be breathing whatever fumes that is pumping out. Hopefully the chemicals that are burning/got burned are not too bad. Sheesh.

At the time, I recall the EPA saying that the air quality at ground zero was "just fine", as well. I wouldn't trust those people to bottle water.

FAX

as posted in one of the other 3 threads:

That is good to hear. Most my family and friends are in Pop yer collar Johnson County anyways.

Sex Panther 60% of the time guaranteed to work all the time! :thumb:

stings the nostrils!

Hell of a smoke.

Hopefully people will stay the hell away from it.

SO who else wants to see those tankers explode???

Rocketing through the air for a mile....I don't exactly WANT to see them explode....but I'll leave the TV on just in case.

Don't they know that second hand smoke can kill God?

:hmmm:

If I answer yes -- I'll be called a heartless bastard...

If I answer no -- I'll be deemed as not wanting some awesome fireworks going off in the early evening night...


NO COMMENT !!! You can still call me a bastard though...

One of the tankers is on fire now.

Man, if I was downwind of that, I'd be using a Michael Jackson face filter and damn the ridicule.

FAX

Heh, watch it explode and take off like a missile and God knows where the hell that thing is gonna land.

That being said, why are the f**ksticks leaving the trains parked near the fuggin fire? Couldn't they had latched it up and get the f**king thing out of the way?

This shit wouldn't have happened if the Bush administration cared about black people.

That would have made sense. Besides, deep down they want to see them explode, too. Makes for a better story.

No problem. It's blowing toward Kansas.


:mizzou:

So do they know yet if anyone got hurt?

The only injury reported so far is a police officer twisted his knee.

Last I heard the nine people in/near the facility all got out okay, and there haven't been any injuries.

The news on that linked video feed mentioned that the heat was too intense for anyone to get near the fire. Maybe they still can't get close enough to hook them up, or perhaps they can't clear debris on the tracks.

Those of us in Kansas really appreciate that. Thanks alot, Missouri!!

as a member of the fire service and having been through haz mat training...if that tank car BLEVES...oh sweet jesus..

a buddy of mine on KCMO FD is down there...made a call to him on his cell late this afternoon....exact words were "this is fucked Up down here, no time to talk"

He had to turn in one of his tickets from last years Royals game for doughnuts !!!!

He was in a hurry...

That's peoples jobs burning up.

ROFL

I'm out here breathing that fresh Southern California smog. Good stuff

Worked many times in chemical-plants they have some wicked shit in there..seen shit eat people's skin right off their bodies..don't breath that shit its bad ass shit....

So what's the latest on this? Did it burn out yet?

Yeah.. I was looking for updates too... anyone?

I assume that if anyone had died or been badly injured it would have been reported (of course, that's probably the main reason all the national media attention melted away - no body count). Considering how violent the explosions were, that's certainly a good thing. Better to be unemployed than blown to bits.

It turns out it was indeed George Bush's fault. In fact, his daughter Jenna threw a cigarette into a large drum of mineral spirits to spark the explosion. Saddam Hussein refused to comment.

Yup, no major injuries from what I heard last night.

amazing, I saw some on tv and online, what chemical does that plant produce? Guess if there aren't any "time to leave" notices it isn't bad???? I'm in St. Louis, so I'm not personally effected, but I don't know if I would trust the chemical plant to be forthcoming of that information. Probably want to leave for a while anyway. The "raining" of the black cloud looked bad on the respiratory system at the least.

I'm hearing on the radio right now (99.7KY) that there have just been four more explosions inside the building.

What a shortsighted view.

Lets look at the positives, shall we?

1. Firemen get to use their equipment
2. Insurance adjusters, agents and mathematicians all are provided job security
3. Cleanup and disposal crews, salvage materials and landfill workers are also further employed...not to mention the environmental specialists called in to monitor the smoke and potential contaminations.
3. Architects, Mechanchal, Civil and Design engineers all participate in the reconstruction, not to mention Zoning administrators, building inspectors and the fees they'll collect for the Govt Entity during the rebuild.
4. Excavation, Concrete, framing, pipefitters, electricians, sheetmetal, insullation workers among others, now have a new project securing their continued employment.

5. Workers of this plant will now be in better, up to date and safer working conditions, in a new facility filled with products manufactured across the nation.

This unfortunate fire has actually helped Stimulate the Economy.


Yeah for Fires!

Great, the pyromaniac’s creed.

Still the best coverage here: http://www.nbcactionnews.com/kshb/nw...337619,00.html

you make Jack Harry proud

Mathematicians?


I see your tic....but I would bet $5 that they don't rebuild at that site.
Your items 1 through 3(a) will all take place, some at taxpayer expense.
Items 3(b) through 5 will take place in China, or some other under regulated, low wage country. Say goodby to those local wages.

(oh...and a $5 bet is pretty significant for a tightwad like me.)

I was interupted during the composition of my wonderful and brilliant, hamasesque in its genius, failed to recall my intented word, Actuary....

I don't know anything about that particular company, the relevance to its location geographically(rail et al)......For most negatives, there is a positive.
