Witnesses say these very strong explosions could be felt miles away! Two large explosions on a fuel barge in Mobile, in Spanish Fort and Daphne, Alabama, over 10 miles away across the river, according to local reports.
Remember the Obama campaign worker who died of a heart-attack and only in his 20s? I’m not connecting it to any of this just using it as a reference point that around this time is when events like this began to increase monthly and sometimes on a weekly basis.
Yes it does.
Just heard on scanner after a FF was asked how it's doing..."flairs up then get's bigger"
Is the stuff Liquefied natural gas?
Scanner feed: Flared up and blew again. It’s burning good.
Prayers indeed. Most people have no idea how dangerous ship cargoes can be.
Says it's " loaded with liquid natural gas"

The Texas city disaster in 47 killed some 580 people.
Fortunately things are considerably safer today.

Accidents by their very nature are bizarre, and the worse they are the more bizarre they are.
Also you will see the "attention effect." Industrial accidents will get more news coverage, people will be more likely to post them in breaking on FR,etc. The false perception will be generated that there are more of them.
MOBILE, Ala (WALA) - UPDATE: 10:40 p.m.: Bob Lowery with USA Medical said as of 10:30 p.m., three patients from the barge explosion have been admitted to the University of South Alabama Medical Center for treatment. He said all three patients are currently in critical condition.

I was hoping this would not be the case...
Yes, I have a book which covers that disaster. The scary thing is all the people who showed up to watch the ship burn, just like the explosion in Halifax, Canada around WW I.
T^hey didn’t have a Chevy truck on there did they?
The Carnival Triumph is jinxed. They should scrap it.
“When America’s international support erodes away, explained Suvorov, the “grey terror” gathers in scope and “reaches its peak.”
“The next stage is pink terror, “when active military operations have not yet begun and there is still peace, but when some of the best spetsnaz units have already gone into action.” This leads directly to “red terror” - which is open warfare between major powers.”
Thanks for the links—they’re keepers.
Thanks for the links and the correction. It’s been awhile.
