MOBILE, Ala (WALA) - The Mobile Fire and Rescue Department said two were injured when two barges previously loaded with liquid natural gas exploded and caught fire. Officials said units are on scene on the east side of Mobile River.

Lt. Mike Clawson said two natural gas barges exploded, the first occurring around 8:30 p.m at 200 Dunlap Drive.

It happened between the Bankhead tunnel and waterways; not near Triumph Cruise Ship.

Members of the Coast Guard are on the scene investigation the cause.

APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
— TS Eliot

Were there any guns on the barges? Did the barges have a permit? Were the barges captained by a tea-party member? Will the moocher be visiting the barges?

Moslems missed the Ides of March by a little over a month,
I guess.

Little wonder—their Messiah thinks there are 57 states.

Is April a cursed month?

Perhaps. My birthday is April 19th. Generally a bad week for things like this from Waco to Columbine...etc

Probably that Carnival cruise ship - Triumph.

It seems to be cursed.

I think John Lennon was mocking "progressives".

Well, it would have probably done Carnival Cruise Lines a huge favor, all things considered.

A Saudi National was discovered at the scene with his eyebrows scinged off. Stay calm...Michelle Obama is in route to comfort him.

Government officials have stated, prior to any investigation, that there’s no frickin way this could be terrorist related. None, whatsoever.

“The Mobile Fire and Rescue Department said two were injured when two barges previously loaded with liquid natural gas...”
I always thought natural gas was carried in containers as compressed natural gas (CNG). Propane is in a liquid state when in a tank.
