I really hope they are wrong about this story.

Here is More from FoxNews

"There is no known connection between Reed and the explosion at this time."

It certainly appears that way. The fact that there was a fire and THEN that huge blast...just a crazy “coincidence”? hmmmm.......

Interesting. It’s not surprising to me if this was done on purpose as I found it suspicious when it happened. Of course, then I figured that it is a fertilizer plant and accidents happen, so it was certainly possible that it was an accident.

This got so little media coverage when it happened because everything was focused on the Boston Marathon Bombing. The media is seemingly unable to focus on two things at once. Little has been said about it after the Boston Marathon Bombing coverage has settled down, and you’d think that the media might interview survivors and those who lost loved ones, maybe 20/20 or one those news shows do something on it (if they did, I missed it). I’m sure this would have been different if it occurred in one of the big cities like New York, Los Angeles, etc.

Make no mistake, the motive for the DHS ammo buys is to deprive citizens from buying ammo. This is ‘Fast & Furious II’ with a twist. This is probably the brain child of Eric Holder. F&F one was to frame FFLs/firearms dealers. F&F two is to deplete citizen’s supply of ammo. What good are firearms without ammo?

Good move. If they can blame a “criminal” then they will save a ton of money in the coming lawsuits.

Are you familar with the Texas City Explosion? Fire on an ship carrying ammonium nitrate, just like this.

TEXAS CITY DISASTER
http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/lyt01

One of the worst disasters in Texas history occurred on April 16, 1947, when the ship SS Grandcamp exploded at 9:12 A.M. at the docks in Texas City. The French-owned vessel, carrying explosive ammonium nitrate produced during wartime for explosives and later recycled as fertilizer, caught fire early in the morning, and while attempts were being made to extinguish the fire, the ship exploded. The entire dock area was destroyed, along with the nearby Monsanto Chemical Company, other smaller companies, grain warehouses, and numerous oil and chemical storage tanks.
