TB you confuse me you defend the action's of authorities that chase a suspect of killing 3 and injuring 100's.
Yet you defend an operation that killed 15 and injured 100's. There is a consquence for action or lack of action.
The plant's last inspection was 1985 no way no how were they in complaince. I know the reg's changed like crazy after 9/11. Homeland Security didn't even know the plant exsisted.

CB I'll take your word for what you posted. I certainly don't live there and don't have any of the facts. Only what I posted that I saw on TV. You know much more about the properties of ammonia nitrate than I do but someone (maybe you) commented on what happens to it with the right conditions plus the addition of water. I'm just hoping that possibly they were in complete compliance and the explosion was a combination of circumstances, ie; ammonia nitrate, fire and water. I find it hard to believe that Homeland Security was unaware of this plant as it was there long before Homeland Security existed. It's not like they've been hiding. Maybe HS dropped the ball. :idea: :idea:
BTW CB the authorities I defended were searching for a terrorist who had knowingly and willingly committed an act of terror. I dno't think the owner of the fertilizer plant blew it up on purpose. :!: :!: :!: A wee bit of difference, but I'm sure if they issue a warrant for his arrest he would probably drive himself to the jail.
