At least two are dead and several have life-threatening injuries, we are told. There are mass casualties, as many as 75 people injured. There were about 100 people inside the plant today where they were supposed to be testing some upgrades made recently to the facility. About 30 ambulances have responded to the scene, as well as the two Lifestar helicopters. A witness said the explosion caused a "massive ball of fire 40 to 50 feet into the air." Homeland security has also been called to the scene.

Wow!!! Great!!! Homeland Security has been called to the scene. I guess we can expect another lackluster performance from POTUS Barack Hussein Obama and his braindead Homeland Security Secretary, Janet “deadbeat” Napolitano!!! I wonder if POTUS Obam will take time from his Super Bowl Sunday party to tend to the nation’s business!!! I doubt it!!! I hope and pray injuries and deaths are at an absolute minimum. The news from the site does not appear to be positive. I am sure the CT “first responders will do an outstanding job of preserving and maintaining life as soon as possible. This does not sound like a “terrorist” attack, but who knows?

I wouldn’t have been doing such today, myself. I realize the thinking that some things just must be done on a strict schedule and damn the calendar, clock or events, but, I’ve never agreed with that having to be done to the nth degree. I would prefer to be as sure as possible all my people were focused 100% on the job at hand that day.
