    thats what i said.

    i live in a suburb of Dallas. i didnt see or hear anything, but hearing the news from it was pretty bad.

    right before it happened, i was actually debating on taking my girlfriend to Dallas to eat. that would have sucked.

        Your paranoia is showing.

        Bush has sure worked his magic on you.

        Somehow, some way, George W. Bush is at fault!

                incredible TV footage shown on CBS news. We had a fire similar to that one, not as large, nearby about 19 years ago. Sent flaming propane tanks flying into the air !!! I covered that story as photographer for our newspaper. Sheesh I was stupid back then !

                Most of these types of accidents are caused by human error. The type of equipment that caught fire has many built in safety features that humans seem to just have to override.

                    I agree sixshot - WTF!? Stein, your attempt to sound like the a biblical scholar failed miserably. On the other hand Cheech and Chong might understand your jargon while high as a kite.

                    It wasn't natural gas. Most of the tanks were filled with acetylene. The plant is the source of acetylene tanks used in welding. They supply most of north Texas

                    The local news last evenings reported that the Dallas police sent a tactical team to the courthouse when the first explosion occurred. There is an anti-terrorism trial going on right now in Dallas - the Holy Land Foundation is accused of funding Hamas. The police thought the explosion might have been a diversionary tactic with an attack on the courthouse to follow

                        What in hell are you talking about????????

                        Who in hell "forced" Bush into invading Iraq? The jerk lied and made up BS stories, lied to the world and berated our long time allies about what was happening in Iraq to give himself an excuse to invade the country.

                        The man is a damned fool who has almost buried this country.

                        Now let's get back on topic.
