West, TX Fertilizer Plant Explosion

Seems like people are still reeling about the Boston Marathon, but another tragic event happened last night at 7:30 CST outisde of Waco, Texas. A town of 2800 people was leveled for about 8 city blocks and volunteer firefighters of course unaccounted for. At this time there are 5-15 dead and over 150 people injuried.  It is termed a seismic event of 2.1. Cell phone video of the fire which then explodes is so massive, the people 1/4 mile away were deafened by the explosion. No one wants to beleive that this is anything but a terrible accident. Since this happened in the evening entire families were probably vaporized.

It's understandable to suspect it may be connected to Monday in Boston but the chemicals used at the fertilizer plant are known to be highly explosive. There was a report on the news this evening about the lack of safety inspections at this particular plant. All speculation of course but a plant that uses bomb material (ammonium nitrate) in its manufacturing process would be at risk for sure.
I sure do HOPE it's unrelated and that the marathon bombs were a stand-alone incident.
