Quoted from M.Alexander But Let's not use this tragedy as an opportunity to promote my God - or your athiesm.

OMG (or is it OMg?) -- I find myself agreeing with MA.

Can the side chatter you two.  Not the time or place for it.

Deletions will ensue.

In BERT we trust!

I find it upsetting how two of NYC's major newspapers reported on the bombing.  

The New York Post website reported early on that there were a dozen dead; it didn't change this number for over ten hours.  The Daily News doctored a photo on its front page as not to show what they considered to be a gory injury.

Now its Waco again... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-22195495

The incident in Waco, so far, is not being ruled as a terrorist act.  Let's hope it remains that way.


Phil

I don't think it's a terrorist act. A fertilizer plant is just a timebomb waiting to go off. That is literally some of the most volatile stuff out there. That was just a case of someone making a small mistake with a serious repercussion.

They say this Waco blast measured 2.1 on the Richter scale. Same intensity as a small nuke. Felt from 50 miles away. Makes me wonder how these fertilizer plants store their product. Has to be a safer way. That is unreal.

Unfortunately, the only way to store fertilizer so this wouldn't happen again would be to spread out the storage tanks over a very wide area.


Phil

Maybe it's time to just let grass grow naturally.

Fool!  There's no money in that!

Yeah, found it hard to believe that they would allow a fertilizer plant to be that close to homes, let alone that school and nursing home a hundred yards away.  That's like living next door to a dynamite factory.  In fact, when I first saw the news report, it reminded me of this chemical plant explosion in Nevada, but they had the sense to put that place in the middle of the desert.

It seems the chase is on now.  Hopefully we can get them without them causing anymore casualties.  Hopefully it was only those two involved.
