Doubtful that anyone in that building survived.




Doubtful anyone in a 2 block radius survived the concussive force of that blast.

Just what in the hell could have been stored in that building to cause a blast that huge in such a populated area.

You’re going to have to be more specific.

A lot of blown out lungs there and not many people are trained to prevent that. Not sure you could prevent that in this case

The white exploding "cloud" what is that... is that debris / dust?

I just can't imagine what the hell was stored in there. And how long did it burn first before explosion? There was enough time to get firemen out there to fight the fire... did they know what was in that building and call for an immediate evacuation?

A bulkhead is a wall in a ship, retard

A bulkhead is also a term used for either metal or wood that is placed along a river bank that keeps the bank from caving.

May be thinking of that nitrogen fertilizer plant that blew up.
Had some apartment building across the street that got wiped out.
ETA Just saw a video of Texas City explosion
Not the one I was thinks about.
The one I was thinking of was a few years ago

Surely there have to be hundreds if not thousands of people dead, right?

That was in West, Tx.

Texas City was an ammonium nitrate explosion around the turn on the 19th to 20th century if I remember.

The smoke in the explosion is so red. Fertilizer or chemical maybe?
