The explosion April 17 in the Central Texas town of West killed 14 people, including 10 volunteer firefighters, burned a school and destroyed or damaged buildings over a 35-block area.

“You would think Texas would have learned its lesson from Galveston,” Smythe said, referring to a 1947 ammonium nitrate explosion at Texas City, on Galveston Bay, that killed at least 581 people.

“This is not rocket science,” he said. “We’ve had this happen so many times.”

The fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Yet a person familiar with DHS operations said the company that owns the plant, West Fertilizer, did not tell the agency about the potentially explosive fertilizer as it is required to do, leaving one of the principal regulators of ammonium nitrate - which can also be used in bomb making - unaware of any danger there.

Fertilizer plants and depots must report to the DHS when they hold 400 pounds or more of the substance. Filings this year with the Texas Department of State Health Services, which weren't shared with DHS, show the plant had 270 tons of it on hand last year.

Gov. Perry Cut Funds For Women's Health In Texas

Only 48 percent of Texans have private health insurance, and more than a quarter of the state's population has no insurance at all, more than any other state. To fill this gap, the state's hospital emergency rooms and dozens of women's health clinics have stepped in to serve the uninsured across Texas.

Gov. Rick Perry and the Republican-controlled legislature have dropped hundreds of thousands of mostly poor and working-class Texans from the rolls of government-sponsored insurance like Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. Nearly 6.5 million Texans are now uninsured even though the majority of them have full-time jobs.

Premiums in Texas' unregulated health insurance industry have soared by 105 percent over the past 10 years, according to the federal Agency for Health Care Research and Quality. Texas employers have responded by raising employee deductibles, often dramatically, or by dropping their coverage entirely.

The budget cuts to family planning clinics won't in the end save Texas money. The state estimates nearly 300,000 women will lose access to family planning services, resulting in roughly 20,000 additional unplanned births. Texas already spends $1.3 billion on teen pregnancies — more than any other state.

Yes he did.

Tell me something idiot, why would a story deliberately lie in the headline by implying that there was 2400 tons of ammonium nitrate in the plant when it exploded, and then contradict the headline in the first paragraph?

Texas’ environmental agency knew in 2006 that West Fertilizer Co. was handling 2,400 tons a year of potentially explosive ammonium nitrate in a warehouse near schools, houses and a nursing home, documents show.

Why would an engineer not notice that?

The fertilizer plant that exploded on Wednesday, obliterating part of a small Texas town and killing at least 14 people, had last year been storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that would normally trigger safety oversight by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

1350 times the amount that DHS arbitrary decided needs to be tracked in order to interfere with farmers who are trying to buy fertilizer. That gets me to wondering, how much, exactly, does the DHS consider significant? Let's see if we can figure that out. Being an engineer this should be pretty easy for you rdean, there was 270 tons there at the time of the explosion, and your article says that the DHS gets all itchy at a point that is 1350 times smaller than that. That means that DHS triggers an automatic investigation when someone buys 400 pounds of fertilizer.

How far does 400 pounds go? According to Home Depot it takes 2 to 4 pounds of fertilizer per 1000 square feet. I know a lot of middle class people who have quarter acre lots in Texas, which means that DHS looks over their shoulder whenever they by the 10,000 pounds of fertilizer they need for their lawns.

Sounds to me like a waste of government resources.

Yes, it is a fertalizer, and also a very effective explosive. Texas knows that already from 1943. As far as a Muslim ordering that much material, it was a homegrown rightwingnut that used Ammonium Nitrate in Okalhoma City.

The officials of this company that handled this material is such a careless manner have commited negligent homocide.

Will Holder do the right thing or what he usually does is the last important question before this gets swept under the rug.

(My bold)

What Gob. Perry does depends on whether he plans to run for the GOP Prexy nomination again in the next cycle. If he does plan to run, he should probably order a state audit of all the ammonium nitrate being held in quantity in the state, with a written plan & enforcement to make sure the ammonium is secured against fire, shock, theft, etc. (& plans to install sprinkler systems, blast walls, put in zoning to forbid schools, homes for the aged & apartments or suburbs within blast range of the plant.) He needs to move now, if he wants it all cleaned up by primary time.

If he doesn't plan to run, then the months will turn into seasons, & he won't do anything about the issue. Too bad, it's another teachable moment in TX domestic business practices history, along with the protection of local first responders - 10 of whom died in the explosion, presumably because the local fire/police weren't aware of the explosion hazard @ the plant. That notification to local first responders would have been triggered by notification to DHS. That's another area that Gov. Perry could require, or @ least suggest to the Lege - direct notification to local first responders by plants holding poisonous &/or explosive materials (the West plant had both - no mention of the poisonous stuff - maybe consumed by the fire/explosion?)

I wonder what the long-term environmental contamination risks are there?

I do read, a lot more than you. I also do math, you should try it sometime, if it doesn't give you a headache.

It is not regulated by law, it is regulated by bureaucrats. DHS wants a report anytime someone has more than 400 pounds of fertilizer on hand because they like to pretend that tracking fertilizer stops terrorists. Strangely enough, it didn't stop the Boston bombers because they used fireworks. Expect to see extra regulations on those soon, which will drive up the cost of sparklers.
