Massive explosion in West, TX

[Probie]

So when there's a fire with highly flammable chemicals around that would cause an explosion equal to the magnitude of a 2.2 earthquake. Wouldn't the explosion come out from the already existing fire, not come into the fire or in this case left of the fire? Doesn't chemical explosions explosions come from the epicenter, not the outside?
Watch about any video, the fire didn't cause the explosion. Something came into the fire against the smoke from the left.
There's a guy that slows down the cnn footage and it's clear as day something comes into the fire as well as reports of an unacccountable military helicopter in the area before the explosion.
Also the police scanner has a firefighter state "we just had a bomb go off here".
I must be seeing something then, because it sure looks like something is coming into the fire right before the explosion.

Two random videos.

The explosion came from the tanks rupturing. They tanks themselves don't necessarily have to be on fire, they just have to get hot enough for the gasses to expand to the point where they blow.

Pretty interesting


Regional Full Scale EMTF Exercise - Black Rain was going on same day per NCTTRAC in the area. I saw somewhere that FEMA trucks were all around before as well.

So evertime something goes down, there always seems to be a "drill" or "Exercise" in the same area or close by, weird.

Before the Blast, West Fertilizer’s Monsanto Lawsuit.
Getting ready to Bankrupt from my understanding.

Intense fires can cause thunderstorms because of the heat bloom, the vaoprization of water and smoke. It's not common, but it's not unheard of to have lightning strikes during forest fires.

After all - Lightning is a static discharge - with all the crap in the smoke getting pushed up in the atmosphere, its quite possible they "salted the sky" or connected with some clouds which led to a bolt of lightning.

Remember, a huge thunderstorm was not far off and the skies were cloudy and swollen already.

Well Denny, you don't see me in the Theology or Political forum unless someone is fucking up and being a racist. Not my cup of tea, not saying that im not into religeon or politics, but Im sure as hell not talking about it with a bunch of kids and bigots on ANY website. If a thread starts getting political or religous, then I move it to the forum that it belongs in.

Thats it and thats all brutha.

I don't care. I just wanted an excuse to say it to you

100s of people STILL not allowed to even SEE their homes... hmmm..

Does not surprise me, probably 5000 federal employees down there standing around doing nothing. However, people who need shit can't go do shit.
