Fertilizer Plant Explosion in West (Waco), Texas!

Apr 18, 2013: Dozens of people are feared dead tonight and well over 100 are injured after this massive explosion at a fertilizer plant in West, Texas about 35 miles north of Waco. Eyewitnesses likened the event to a nuclear bomb blast and it sent a massive fireball into the sky. The explosion registered a 2.1 on the Richter scale, instantly leveled dozens of houses in the area and shook others as far away as 50 miles. Officials are evacuating parts of the town as the plant contained 54,000 pounds of the chemical anhydrous ammonia, a pungent gas with suffocating fumes.
