Kaboom: Texas's turn.

Not at all that uncommon.

Based on data from the Guardian, there have been at least 17 unintended explosions of ammonium nitrate since 1921 that have led to casualties. Six of those have occurred in the United States.

The largest and deadliest occurred in 1947, when a fire on board a vessel docked in the Port of Texas City detonated some 2,300 tons of ammonium nitrate. All told, 581 people died — including most of Texas City’s fire department. It still ranks as the deadliest industrial accident the country has ever seen.

One does wonder if Texas' penchant for allowing business whores to wink at environmental laws enters into this. You know...what the republibertarianeo-conazis call "freedom."
