    Guys could you actually just report the facts and stop your juvenile bickering.

    After Hours dude, you want facts go to a news site or something

    Really? Thats your quailifier for this? my god you are some conspiracy nutjob. And before you make any assumptions yes i know about waco but considering there has been absolutely no link between the boston bombings and waco, apart from people saying there is cus the dates are close, making that your sole qualifier for being a conspiracy is just hilarious

    No one has once mentioned a conspiracy. I said I would be surprised if they weren't linked, and this was based on this being in Waco. The fact that it is not changes this. Of course it does, it was the key factor.

    I just remembered why I don't post in AH. It's like talking to uneducated 10 year olds.

    Call us all conspiracy nuts for proposing there might be a link though, like ZOMGGGG IT WAZ SO OBVIUUUS LOLL

    RTE reporting between 5-15 casualties. Any other info?

    You failed to look into this story yourself and only learned on AH that this accident was not actually in Waco. So I wouldn't try and take the moral high ground.

    David Koresh died on this day 20 years ago in WACO!

    Tomorrow, not today.

    Also, this explosion happened 8pm local time, which was Wednesday the
    17th.

    Koresh died the 19th. So it's 2 days before his anniversary.

    and how did he release an album (entitled Voice Of Fire in 1994)
    1 year AFTER his death???!!!!!:eek:

    When the thread title says "Further Plant explodes", is this plant the one caught on camera exploding?

    You take your logic and substantiated facts elsewhere! Facts and logic have no place within this forum!

    You just linked to a Wikipedia article that refers to Conspiracy Law. I have absolutely no idea what point you are trying to back up here. Suggesting there may be a link between two events does not imply a conspiracy. You have absolutely no understanding of the word, and the fact that you linked to an article about Conspiracy Law further backs up your absolute lack of knowledge on the subject. To clear up for you and others, 'conspiracy' generally refers to an agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act. So if I thought these events were linked and then inferred that the government were trying to cover it up then you could say it was a conspiracy.

    Otherwise it is simply conjecture. There has not been a single conspiracy posted on this thread bar Space Mans trolling which has gone relatively unnoticed...

    Okay here
    http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/conspiracy
    http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conspiracy
    http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/conspiracy

    you suggested they were linked which would suggest at least 1 person(not a conspiracy) or 2 or more people(a conspiracy) to have plotted to cause explosions and deaths which is a crime and illegal? Dont know where my logic is going wrong here?
    Just because you didnt use the word does not mean it was not what you were suggesting.

    To add to the conspiracy angle, anyone else listen to the Firefighter Emergency Channel conversation back to the operator?

    http://video.news.com.au/2380308012/Firemen-down-after-explosion

    He says "a bomb has just gone off inside here, we got a lot of Firefighters down".

    He says "the bomb" (or "a bomb") has just gone off, lot of Firefighters down".

    Probably a local nickname for the factory,basically that's what fertiliser plants are-one giant bomb.Why do you think the IRA were so fond of the stuff?

    Because "bomb" is easier to say than explosion?? Jeez, he just saw a huge explosion that ripped everything to shreds, can't blame him for mixing up his words:rolleyes:

    Um did you listen to it? That doesnt make any sense in the context of the sentence structure. I would suggest if he didnt mean an actual man-made bomb they were aware of he actually meant "an explosion just went off inside here" but said bomb.

    Obviously he didnt mean "[a fertiliser plant] went off inside here (the plant..?)"?? How you came to that conclusion is its own mystery. :confused:

    And according to my fact-a-day calendar:

    This day in 1480 Lucrezia Borgia, infamous Florentine ruler & Daughter of Pope Alexander VI was born.

    Coincidence? - I think not.

    This changes everything. America should nuke Denmark.

    all joking aside, i want to offer my condolences to all affected by this exploson/fire.

    Possibilities of up to 60-70 people dead, hundreds injured. Not a good week for the US

    A fertilizer explosion like that would be very similiar to a large bomb going off. There's a reason that fertilizer ingredients are used in the making of high explosives. They're lethal. Texas had a huge disaster back in the 1940s where hundreds of people were killed in a massive fertilizer explosion. A ship's anchor was found almost a kilometre from the site of the explosion which gives you and idea of the enormous blast.

    Jesus he was hardly right up beside the plant. It was very far away the explosion was massive alright. I guarantee 90% of people over here would do the same thing. Oul Irish mammies are the worst rubberneckers in the world.
