How absolutely awful, the scenes on the news look like an inferno......it's such a small town, this is devastating for them. This has been just an awful week, my heart hurts for all those affected.

Per press conference. Massive like Iraq and just like Oklahoma bombing.

Good night. Thoughts are out to Texas tonight along with Boston.

Absolutely horrible. I have friends all over Texas and they have family everywhere too, including Waco. This is BAD man, BAD. I hope it was just something gone wrong in the production process or something.

Edit: Meaning, I hope there isn't someone directly responsible. Enough for awhile.

The town probably welcomed the plant thinking it would save the town and it might have killed the town.

NPR had a story about the community around the shuttered Sandy Hook school and how business is way down because the kids are now in other schools and no one wants to go to the area.

Another sad day. I hope those fumes don't cause permanent harm to all those breathing them... sounds like it must be hell over there.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Some relatively good news. It seems they were in the process of evacuating at the time of explosion. The numbers of those who lost their lives is going down. Thank goodness for that one.

President Obama is visiting Boston today and attending an interfaith service and also visiting the wounded. Think he will visit the small Texas town that was ripped apart last night?

Good possibility. That small Texas town is making Boston look like a firecracker went off. Either way, in these types of situations, people could use all the support they can get.
