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.

They're way ballsier than me. I don't even like to put the shit in the dirt. Much less, put it in some consumer container that isn't made for the epic freaking cold that comes out. I've heard of people putting it in Thermoses. If it were me, I'd go find alternative product to make meth. I put some on this spring and plugged up my coulter machine. It has a cold flow system that bleeds off some vapor. Anyway, there was no wind and I got a little bit too big of a whiff of it and threw up. Maybe I'm a big pussy, but that was a lot less exposure than having it in a ****ing cooler in my back seat. I have no idea how these jackasses don't eradicate themselves. |

As soon as it explodes the kid cries that (s)he can't hear and to please get them out of there. The dad is asking if the kid(s) are ok. People were giving the dad shit, but it hard to say he should have known there was about to be a nuclear-like explosion.

Like you said just get away from it and you will be OK. The liquid is the only real danger. I have worked in plants for 20+ years with VERY large ammonia refrigeration systems. The stuff is nasty but very avoidable unless you are working on the equipment. It will give a massive headache though. You can also build a tolerance to it. Strange stuff. |

I also read a report that the ammonia threat is non-issue now. |
