Wow, the first and last picture remind me of a huge bomb, like a nuclear weapon, being used. Scary stuff. Hope everyone is alright.

A fertilizer plant you say? Well here comes the next epidemic. Prepare your zombie apocalypse gear everyone!

Seriously though, how hazardous can this be?

Hopefully this is a bad accident. It feels like a bad accident. But with the Boston bombings. This is very scary and will cause people to think someone was behind this.

Been incidents of Electrical Power Plant vandalism taking place recently as well. (Guerrilla warfare?)

Some people ask what will the collapse look like? Well, perhaps we are seeing it as we speak.

The pictures are from Facebook, friends and relatives are posting them.

I would be careful with that first pic, according to many of the responses that pic is fake. They are saying that it was overcast today and the time of day does not fit with the time of the explosion. Just my .02.
