Dozens of people are likely dead – and many more injured – after a fertilizer plant in West, Texas exploded Wednesday evening. At least fifteen people were killed, local authorities say, although that number could rise as high as sixty.

The massive blast – which measured as a 2.1-magnitude seismic event – threw people to the ground and shook homes more than fifty miles away. In its wake the West Fertilizer Co. building was completely destroyed, while extensive damage was done to surrounding buildings.

“There was just a major, major explosion,” said a first responder who was dispatched to the fertilizer building, which was already on fire. “The windows came in on me, the roof came in on me, the ceiling came in. We lost all communication when the power went out. The whole street is gone.”

Damn …

Wednesday’s explosion – which hasn’t sparked any allegations of foul play – comes two days after a suspected terrorist attack in Boston Massachusetts involving a pair of homemade pressure cooker explosives.

Obama and Feinstein are going to request that fertilizer plants produce no more than 7 pounds of material at a time. Once 7 pounds have been produced, they’ll need to be taken off-site and sold to a registered landscaper or farmer who has been pre-registered to own such material.

Regular folks can’t buy ammonium nitrate fertilizer in SC.
Same with urea, which itself makes no sense.
