omg - "Dad, I can't hear anything"

Well, if he'd listened to the police warnings to evacuate when the fire started instead of driving to a closer location to get a good video then perhaps his kids eardrums would still be in one piece.

Still, we wouldn't have gotten to see the video then.

That mushroom cloud they keep showing on the news is creepy. You have to wonder if the news people are trying to freak people out. That town is in ruins. My thoughts go out to them.

I turned on channel 6 news this morning (ABC) and they happened to be showing it, then remarked it looked like a nuclear bomb went off. I had to stand there a moment and watch some more to realize it wasn't what was happening.

i believe the comments questioned the judgement of the father taking the video, which was warranted in my opinion.

Think of the victims first......then cast judgement on others judgements!

I work for an engineering firm. I am in North East Louisiana and we work at plants in Oklahoma, kansas, Texas, and more. To answer your question though, I am about a 7 hour drive from that plant.

Yahoo! News reporting that looting taking place in the buildings around the Texas explosion.

Just don't understand this behavior.
