Before forgetting the BOSTON explosion a massive
explosion rocked Texas on last Wednesday with a cloud of toxic smoke which
injured hundreds of people and leaved dozens of houses destroyed.
A huge fire ball rolled out through the west which
has a radius of five building blocks surrounded with toxic smoke.
Three to five fire fighters were still missing.
There may 20 deaths in this explosion which took place in the last evening that
is on Wednesday.
It was a massive explosion in which the blast destroyed houses in a five- to
six-block radius in the town, which lies 20 miles north of Waco.
A nursing home had
collapsed from the explosion and that people were believed trapped inside. 133
people were inside the nursing home. Lots of people may be injured, said by the Texas Department of Public Safety Spokesman D.L. Wilson.
Within a very short
span after the explosion, more than 60 patients streamed into Hillcrest
Hospital in Waco, suffering from "blast injuries, orthopedic injuries
(and) a lot of lacerations.
Sitting about 75 miles
south of Dallas and 120 miles north of Austin, West is one of 22 incorporated
communities in McLennan County
People from 30 fire
departments brought the blaze at the West Fertilizer Company plant under
control by midnight. Fears that a second fertiliser tank might explode receded
but authorities continued to evacuate residents amid concern about toxic fumes.
Blast registered as 2.1 on the Richter
scale reported by the USGS. Till now it is not known that this
explosion is an accident or intentionally set by any others.
Due to these blastings there is no
security for the human life and everybody is believing that it is not occurred accidentally,
it was an intentionally event.
Measures should be taken by all the
country governments in order to stop this type of events which makes lot of
people orphans and so many loose their shelters.
