No details as yet as to whether its an accident or a deliberate act - but it is the 20th anniversary of the Waco cult stand off.

Either way it's very sad news but hoping this isn't another attack on innocent US citizens.

I have some friends out there. The rescue operation is huge. Emergency services are being diverted from Houston and swimming pools are being drained.

Bit early to start blaming the Branch Davidians mate. The place makes ammonium nitrate fertilizer, a spark can set that stuff off...

When I heard the news, my first thought was if it was deliberate. I was thinking of the fertilizer bombs in Oklahoma

International - yes.

Domestic ? Possible link to the Davidians.

Like you said - it's a high risk industry but there's a lot of nut jobs in the US looking for opportunities to destabilise the government in any way they can!

Oh Jesus not another one. I don't understand why people do this to each other. Thinking of those affected.

Personally I can see it.

The Davidians ended in Waco when Coresh died and by blowing up an ammonium nitrate production plant they've cut off their supply of a critical ingredient for future bombings.

Personally I think a fire broke out elsewhere in the plant and it spread to ammonia storage tanks. Just a tragic accident...

The Davidians are still going.

I'm hoping its an accident though. The last thing the US needs is further attacks right now.

Hinckley

The Davidian's solution would be - 'Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast'...

I'll get me coat.

The image of David Coresh preaching to Machine Head is now stuck in my head!

Sky news seem to be talking like its an accident. No mention of an attack.

Too many variables for it to be deliberate. If it was then why start a fire elsewhere and hope it spread to the ammonia storage tanks. A determined terrorist would have targeted them directly. Besides, it holds zero value as a legitimate target really...

Whatever it is its very sad. Its not what America needs right now. There's talk of weather possibly making it worse too. Tornadoes in the area.
