Technician Posted April 18, 2013 Literally. It's WACO so I'm sure someone pissed off the ATF. EDIT: Holy shit! This week is the thirtieth anniversary of WACO. 0 Share this post Link to post

Bucket Posted April 18, 2013 Thanks, asshole. I thought it was the THIRTIETH anniversary of Waco and I read further to discover it's only the TWENTIETH anniversary. I cared before but certainly not now. What a waste of a thread. Wake me in ten years. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted April 18, 2013 Shockingly there are no reports of casualties, yet. That was a big explosion. 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted April 18, 2013 wow I bet downtown Waco smells fucking lovely right now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Woolie Wool Posted April 18, 2013 Is it actually confirmed to be a bomb? In a fertilizer plant it could be a spontaneous dust-air explosion, like the way grain silos can suddenly explode. 0 Share this post Link to post
neubejiita Posted April 18, 2013 http://www.kwkt.com/news/caught-camera-fertilizer-plant-explosion-near-waco Here is a video, you can see something coming down from the sky just before the blast. maybe a cruise missile. 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted April 18, 2013 or maybe the fact that the plant was already on fire had something to do with the explosion. 0 Share this post Link to post

Koko Ricky Posted April 18, 2013 I'm from Texas. I was just watching this on the news. Shit looks like the apocalypse. Tragic things like this happen so often that I can't even sympathize anymore, I just stare in amazement and wonder how it's going to turn out. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted April 18, 2013 Must have been one hell of a meth lab! But seriously, what the fuck is going on [edit]Also what the fuck, that Fox link says "60 to 70 people dead, hundreds more injuried," while other pages seem to say around 60-70 people injured and no known casualties. Way to go Fox. 0 Share this post Link to post

Oh come on, any idiot can see that that's a fucking Garbatron death ray fired by an alien tripod (which just HAPPENS to be standing out of frame, coincidence, I think NOT), and the aliens were paid off by our government to blow up the fertilizer factory in order to cause a massive fertilizer shortage in the US so that the government could justify invading Saudi Arabia, for it's rich fertilizer deposits. 0 Share this post Link to post

Another link I found said it was just a lithium ion battery from an e-cigarette (supposedly). This explosion was probably no bigger than an M-80's blast at absolute worst (likely far smaller an explosion). Sensationalism at it's best! 0 Share this post Link to post
CorSair Posted April 18, 2013 That was one huge fireball. No one just walks away from that unscathed... And what the hell made that ammonia leak? 0 Share this post Link to post

Perhaps, although considering the Waco Davidians were gun possession proponents, and with the recent gun control law initiatives, the context leaves room for this to have been triggered on purpose. One could suspect it an easy, spectacular and deadly target delivering real and symbolic responses to the Waco siege and anti-gun laws without leaving much evidence. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted April 22, 2013 TBH, anti-gun-control proponents have a point: in both the Boston marathon and the Texas plant explosion, no guns were used or otherwise involved. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted April 22, 2013 Mr. T said:Ummm? https://www.google.com/search?q=boston+shootout Well, those were used only after the actual attack to evade arrest, in a way not very different than common crime cases, so they don't "count". As much as the public opinion seems to get all butthurt and sore about gun possession when it's about school shootings, disgruntled employees, etc. , for some reason the very same public opinion has an indifferent, almost fatalist attitude towards guns in the hands of common criminals and gangsters. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted April 23, 2013 DoomUK said:Another day, another gun thread on DoomGunControlWorld. Ironically, an outsider might consider people who play a game that's all about shooting demons with an array of weaponry and which was single-handedly "charged" with inspiring the Columbine massacre to be all unconditional gun nuts. If only they knew....heh. I personally always thought that people who play an FPS such as Doom have a technical or hobby interest in guns, or at least a sort of respect/awe for the "cool" factor, and certainly none of these gun-control qualms. 0 Share this post Link to post
