Massive explosion at Texas Fertilizer Plant
This apparently has just happened in the last hour... but a fertilizer plant in the town of West, Texas... near Waco, has exploded. Apparently it was felt up to 60 miles away. Some of the pictures rolling in on Twitter are insane. Looks like a volcano. Sounds like multiple buildings leveled, on fire, etc.

There goes the price of fertilizer. We're already paying $10.00 a bag

It appears that other long distance mushroom cloud shot may be from a 2008 refinery explosion in western Texas.

This is what the place used to look like (the buildings and silos in the dirt patch just right of center). That's a large housing development to the left, and it looks like a school at lower left.

Who's that man on top of the building and why is he carrying a back pack?

Apparently numerous firefighters were on their way there 10-15 minutes prior to the explosion

do fertilizer plants suffer the same fate that grain elevators do. Every once and a while a spark makes it go boom?
