Scary scenes coming out of Texas right now, near Waco, where a fertilizer plant has exploded, taking out a number of residential buildings nearby with "dozens" feared dead

Wasn't there a similar accident at a similar plant in the USA in the 1990's?
*edit, I think it was the Pepcon disaster that I was thinking about.,
Also here is a video of the fire/explosion: http://edition.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp...-explosion.cnn

The reports still seem to be all over the place. 5 to 15 dead according to most agencies reporting. What is really strange to me is the local damage... why wouldn't they isolate a place that has such fire/explosion risks involved?

I'm not sure about that. Many large fireworks facilities and other such places use a lot of separate small buildings rather than larger buildings for that very reason.

perhaps the plant were isolated when it was built but that the town have grown around it.
