Texas Explosion

'WTF are they doing within a mile of an ammonium nitrate facility?'

That's Texas for ya. I live near Texas City which processes most of the countries petroleum. You would be surprised at how close homes and neighborhoods are to these chemical plants. When we had the bp explosion a few years ago it jolted me in my seat at work and knocked everything off my walls. My job was about a mile away from bp. The chemical fallout is the scariest part because depending on the wind, the toxins can travel several miles.

That's nuts, you would have thought even the most basic of zoning laws would prevent it. It's not like there's a shortage of land either!
