VIA Pierce we hear that the investigation of the West Fertilizer explosion has definitely concluded that something or other sparked the explosion. Quite possibly some sort of ignition:
Good news if you had "Either an Accident, or Arson" in the office pool.WEST (May 16, 2013)—The State Fire Marshal's Office and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have identified three possible causes of the fire that caused the deadly April 17 fertilizer plant explosion in West, two accidental and the third intentional, officials said during a late afternoon news conference Thursday.Investigators determined that the fire that led to the powerful explosion was caused either by a battery-powered golf cart that was kept in the fertilizer and seed building in which the fire started, the building’s 120-volt electrical system or by an intentional criminal act, said Robert Champion, special agent in charge of the Dallas office of the ATF.
Guess it might be good news, or as good as you're going to get, if you're trying to prosecute that West paramedic for making pipe bombs, also.
The total amount of ammonium nitrate on the site was about 150 tons, less than 270 tons that federal records indicated was stored at the plant.
Ah, so only 750 times the amount that was supposed to trigger the federal reporting they didn't do. Not the 1350 times reported earlier by the lying Media. What was all the fuss about?
By the way, the owner of West Fertilizer, Donald Adair, didn't get any mention at all. Damed Media; always ignoring the Jobs Creators.
And Job creators, too.
ReplyDeleteHe is so weird looking...he looks like a cross between Mitt Romney and George W.

I hesitate to think that poor decisions from Rick are willful as he seems to be a very dim bulb. HOWEVER, after reading The Star's latest expose on the abuse of gambling money, grants and the IEDC under "Not My Man",I think it's pretty obvious that he KNOWS what he is doing. And why didn't anyone question these piss poor decisions while he was in office I'll never know.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least they kinda ruled out lightning or the Will of God. That's progress.
ReplyDeleteBecause nothing could have predicted it,
ReplyDeleteand nothing could have prevented it.
I love this post because it is very very interesting.Thanks you very much for shearing this article
ReplyDeleteWhy is this so?
ReplyDeleteRick Perry is the shitstain Shrub left on the guest towels before leaving for Washington.
ReplyDeleteBegs the question -- how many fertilizer and farm chemical plants are located in the heart of small farm towns all over the nation? How many of them have polluted the ground water? How many of them would seriously pollute the towns with similar fires, explosions, tornados, etc.? Industrial Ag is largely exempt from even any one seriously questioning, let alone monitoring and enforcing its way.
ReplyDeletePrairie cur: If that were public information, then teh Terroristists would know! And they might blow up a factory! Or place toxic chemicals in our groundwater!
ReplyDeleteOh, wait.
