And there were safety precautions built in for the plant, of course, now we might hear some violation (OSHA and others could always find something afterwards).
And people lose vigilance and build housing around it for convenience, that's my guess. But we need to know how the fire started in the first place, and why it got out of control so fast.
Talk about obliviousness from these 'reporters'.
Some one better check if CNN describe West, TX fertilizer plant explosion "as though a bomb had dropped". That would be more apt description.
