West Texas Explosion


And yet, another terrible tragedy this week.
This explosion happened two days ago and was a little closer to home.
An explosion happened at a fertilizer plant in West Texas killing at least 20+ people and they are still in a search and rescue mode.  There will most likely be many more bodies found.  And although this was not a terrorist act, it is still devastating for the people of West.  News just said 12 confirmed dead, over 200 injured, but they are sure there are more deaths.
And continuing big news from the Boston bombing.  They were able to identify the two terrorist who they felt were suspects in the bombing, and apparently overnight, there was a shootout with them where one of the brothers was shot and killed and the other is now being hunted down.  Another police officer was shot and killed and now the whole city of Boston is shut down as police go door to door on this hunt.  All trains, subways, buildings and partial airport are shut down to all movement.  People have been asked to stay in their homes, not to leave, not to answer their doors and for all businesses to stay closed until this other man is found.
A very difficult week in the world of news.
So sad, the unnecessary deaths due to both terrorism and accident.
So many people mourning their losses.
