Officials from Illinois-headquartered CF Industries were on Thursday beginning an investigation into an explosion which killed one person and injured at least another 10 at its Donaldsonville, Louisiana fertiliser plant. The blast and subsequent fire occurred at about 22:30 hours on Wednesday (03:30 GMT Thursday) in one of four ammonia plants at the Donaldsonville complex, said Chuck Combs, regional marketing manager for CF Industries. He told CNI that the dead person was a contractor. "Six of the ten confirmed injured were contractors and four were CF staff," he said. Combs had no information on the extent of their injuries although several were described by local emergency services as in critical or serious conditions. Some were reported to be suffering from serious burns. The fire was brought under control in under half an hour but the affected ammonia unit - one of four at the complex - was shutdown immediately and could be out of action for some time, according to Combs. He said the blast occurred during routine maintenance although the plant was operating at the time. "We don't know yet what caused the explosion but an internal investigation has started." Combs said the four ammonia units have a combined capacity of about 2m tonne/year. The Donaldsonville complex also includes three urea plants and two producing UAN (urea, ammonia and nitrate). source

Do you remember when we had MASSIVE forest fires burning north, east, south, and west simultaneously? We did everything in our power to show that these fires were a muslim attack, a well known and well publicised tactic, amd LEO refused to follow up on any of it. Then we had the fast burning warehouses all over the place using an accelerant that burned so fast and so hot that it melted railroad tracks miles away. Coincidently, just such an accelerant, (hundeds of sheets,) was stolen from a military storage facility and never found. STILL fbi would not call it what it was.

Sorry — event from 2000

Ammonium nitrate isn’t explosive by itself. it’s just an oxidizer, a fuel must be added in proper proportions.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

AN can explode on it’s own.

[Lets Roll NOW]

Chemical plants have been blowing up for years now. Some reporter should put a list together of the explosions in the last 10 years, I bet that would wake a few people up.

Investigators said workers pumped too much pressurized nitrogen into a truck at the CF Industries Plant in Donaldsonville, causing it to rupture before 7 p.m..

Disregard, Mesta.

Some stupid tinfoiler sent me a web page from 2012...

[null and void]

We have seen multiple explosions at chem plants.

We have seen wildfires, now being reported as arson.

We have had multiple bomb threats called in.

SEATAC is being crawled upon by police at this hour.

WTH is going on?

Imagine 100,000 muslim jihadis here on H-1B, L-1, refugee and expired student visas working in power plants, fertilizer factories, refineries, chemical manufacturers, hospitals, utilities, dams, pharmaceutical formulators, web hub server farms, municipal water supply facilities, sewage treatment plants, meat packing and food processing plants, driving HazMat trucks...

Remember when the Vietcong took over Huế? They were able to round up every government official, march them all off into the jungle and kill every last one of them in one single night.

They knew exactly where they lived, who they visited, where they shopped and where they ate dinner, and when.

How you ask?

The cabbies had been providing the Vietcong daily reports on their every move for years in advance.

Soooo, where do most of the cabbies in your berg come from? In Washington DC, it's Somalia...

Just because we've forgotten the lessons of Huế and the lessons of the Sepoy Rebellion's "The Perfect Day" doesn't mean our enemies have.

Wiki seems mute on The Perfect Day. That information used to be readily available there. Now it's barely mentioned.

Or Friendly fire.

[Terry L Smith]

Yes, and tyo think, it is 15 miles from (da-da-DUM!)
The Louisiana Sinkhole!!

Which, btw, houses near the sinkhole NOT evacuated yet, are testing positive for natural gas being present!

We have had college students going on midnight field trips to the Boston water supply.

Thank you for setting that straight.

Long delays at SEA-TAC this week due to TSA delays.

It is weird.

Gee! And....All that NSA trolling through **every** citizen’s personal data didn’t manage to stop this *accident”.

“Imagine 100,000 muslim jihadis here on H-1B, L-1, refugee and expired student visas...”

Nobama wants to open refugee status to the Syrian rebels, the same rebels who just pledged allegiance to al-queda. Hang on, it’s going to be a long hot summer!

[onedoug]

islamism until demonstrated otherwise....

I don’t know but it can’t be terrorism. And it can’t be false flag operations. ‘Cause that would be crazy conspiracy talk, as if we have enemies who have sworn to destroy us from without and from within. Or so all the “smart” people would tell us rubes.

[butterdezillion]

Well, it’s a good thing the federal government is examining all our communications, working to take our guns away, keeping track of all our medical records, and requiring naked scans before flying - all to keep us safe. They’d sure hate to miss any little clue, ya know.

Straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel. Deliberately.
