SAN ANTONIO -- An 18-wheeler being loaded with fuel at a San Antonio refinery has exploded.
Television stations showed footage Wednesday of an enormous black plume spewing from the AGE Refining Inc. unit on the city's southeast side.
Refinery marketing director Jeff Morrow says the truck exploded late Wednesday morning at the facility that refines gas and jet fuel, but he had no other details.
San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood told KENS-TV that the fire had spread to the refining facility, and authorities were trying to assess whether neighbors should be evacuated.
Pray that nobody was injured. Might want to gas up.
I see $4.00 a gal by summer...
why am I getting these chills all of a sudden when I read this...?
Okay... TINFOIL HAT ALERT...
Didn’t a few FReepers discuss this very scenario back a couple years ago? How many foreign-born people are now truck drivers?
What if Johnny Jihad wanted to do some damage and he (or others) rigged a tanker truck full of fuel to explode at an important industrial OR highly populated area?
This is looking more suspicious by the minute.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
This Refinery does not produce gasoline they primarily do jet fuel (big airfore customer) if you google their address 7811 South Presa San Antonio TX you will see this is right by Brooks AFB.

Terrorist attack number 6?
Using those ground cables is not just a good idea.
Something is going on.... mark my words.... too many coincidences.
Oh, no! Now Obama will have to call out the troops and watch the tanker burn.
I see Americans exchanging canned food as gifts this Christmas.
Hm yep probably like $5.00 a gallon.
Perfect time to endorse light raid... right...
Er light rail I meant.
Just another unrelated incident....
4? Try at LEAST 5$/gallon this summer. It’s already close to $4 in some areas.
Was the driver from Pakeestan although a remote would be pretty easy to attach.
Pray for America
Don’t worry.. The Feds will cover this explosion up too. When’s the SWAT team going to be sent in?
Oh...I’m sure there will be raids too... pfft ;)
Not enough collateral damage opportunities for an islamic terror event.
