    Massive explosion in West, Texas

    Texas always has to outdo everyone...

    But in all seriousness, this is horrible. I kind of doubt it is terrorist related at all, but jeeze:

    They cynical side of me wonders if they wont get less aid, etc. because of Boston.

      No visible carnage in the video, just a lot of shock.

              West is a fun little town on 1-35 known for its Czech immigrant population and its kolache shop. We stop there every.single.time we drive by, to get pastries. This is so sad. They've taken two critical kids to Scott&White in Temple and two burn adult vics to burn center at parkland in Dallas.

                So sad for this town. I ate kolaches there frequently when I was at Baylor or driving nearby.

                  This is horrible. The kid just lost his hearing because the adults in the car are idiots. News flash - fertilizer is highly combustible.

                      They posted an update that his hearing returned this morning.

                        I'm really sorry but WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU POST A VIDEO WITH THE SOUNDS OF YOUR TERRIFIED CHILD TO YOUTUBE?

                        Does the world really need to hear that? Was that adding something to our knowledge base? That kid was so frightened and begging his Dad to leave and his Dad does so and then uploads to YouTube. Stupid.

                          And why were they sitting there taking video of a fire?? It's no surprise that fertilizer is combustible. Seriously. It's one thing to do something dumb by yourself, but leave your poor kid out of it. Sometimes I really hate the Internet.
