Holy crap that was close call for them.

Holy **** that was crazy!

It's crazy we were in the first 300 to watch that video, if it doesn't go to a million quick I will be surprised.

That's terrible.

My roommate, teammate and best friend in college lives and coaches in Waco. I haven't herd back from him yet, I pray that he's ok and that I hear from him soon.
The video is shocking. Words can't deacribe it really. It amazing how fast life changes for a lot of folks.
God bless all those involved.

He should be fine in Waco, west is 20 or more miles from Waco. There were news crews setup out the outside of West and there was no damage there.

Holy ****!!!

Its at a 1.5 million already

Poor little girl, feel bad for her.

I didn't realize that they had a fire and then an explosion. I see why so many firefighters and first repsonders were hurt.

God Bless those folks!!

fertilizer is no fing joke...we had a small one here off I-10...Arcadia i think? Someone can shed light on it...can't remember if it was 15 or more years ago??

I think that was a little boy actually, IDK.

Last I checked they were saying possible 15 dead and a few missing. Firefighters mostly, they were fighting the fire when it exploded.

They also had an explosion at Exxon Mobil in Beaumont yesterday. Heard contractors were welding on a line that wasnt cleared, lost of people got burnt on that one.

Still shot from vid, google map view, apartments after explosion

2.8 million

A Uhaul truck full of fertilizer destroyed the federal building in Oklahoma City. This was a plant full of it. People laugh and say "ban fertilizer" but I think they did put strict controls on its sale after Oklahoma city.

I have heard that fertilizer was being made less explosive since Ok city bombing. It sure didn't look less explosive last night!

a guy i work with's neice lives in those apartments...her and her husband went to church right before the fire and explosion... their apartments...they gone.

Whoa!!!

dont know how long it was on fire before it exploded, but to me when it went up in flames my a** would have gotten as far away as possible.

Buddy said he heard the VFD was trying to put out a small ammonium nitrate fire with water... Not a great idea

Just watched again, it's at over 6 million views - whoaaaa!! Do we win a prize from youtube, J should get something for sure right?????

That's what I'm talking about. Haha. Actually, my prize is that none of my family or friends were around there or injured. Just hope all the people watching that video are praying for those people and their families. More prayers, the better!

Prayers for the families...my dad is a police officer in Keller. Spoke with him today. The Texas response firefighters who are in Keller are there doing search and rescue. His dispatcher had her mother and aunt in that nursing home that was destroyed. Aunt will make it, but her mother was severely injured and do to her age is not expected to survive. Another officer he works with had a father in law who was a volunteer firefighter in West and is one of the missing.

Fertilizer is tracked very closely; I'm studying to take a test that allows me to b licensed to spray yards with fertilizer / pesticides . It's serious business. All ur paperwork has to b perfect and what u apply , buy, store etc has to b documented a d turned into the a gov agency.

Just watched it again also, it's over 8 million now
