Freepers discussing West Fertilizer explosion

Somebody’s in big trouble.

Perhaps. But before we can say that was the plant a big democrat donor?

There was a school and a nursing home right across the street from this plant. It’s a Federal felony to get within 1,000 ft. of a school with a lawfully carried firearm but there aren’t any regulations about how close you can put an ammonium nitrate plant?

400-lbs vs 270 tons? The calculator melted. Someone in accounting is in for a load of shiite

Some dude with last name of Adair. He better hope he’s dead, because there would be some serious jail time, I would think.

Wow, famous last name in Texa oil circles. Hope he’s no kin of Red

oops

Honestly who cares about the reporting. They shouldn’t have had it at a plant located in that area.

“Sometimes bad things happen.”

And most often those bad things are caused by the mistakes of others.

The West Disaster could have been caused by human error or perhaps is was something like a lightning strike.

But, if humans working at the plant violated industry standards, the owners of the plant will have some serious liability issues to contend with.
