Toxic-Chemicals Released into Air. I feel like a lot of you go way beyond the fascination of coverage for doom events.... Quoting: Bathtub_Gin_Smuggler I feel like a lot of you want bad things/destructive things to happen.. And when these bad/destructive things happen, whether they are weather related, explosion (etc...), it seems like a lot of you get happy about it... You get giddy... I think for the most part we are living in limbo waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting for an event to wake people up to the true calamity that is being forced upon... we live on the edge of a precipice everyday. Whether you are religious and waiting for the end of the world or the Second Coming, most of us are pretty damn sick and tired of the way this world is going. I think when a major catastrophe happens, we secretly hope that we are closer to escaping a world that, for many of us, has turned into a place we despise. I think that translates as giddiness for tragedy sometimes, when in fact we feel hopeless with any bad event, and hope secretly that is signals some sort of mass awareness or change or perhaps a final escape. Yes, there is an "escape" (Luke 21:36), but only for the Bride of Christ. For all others, "shall not escape" (1 Thessalonians 5:3). |

Toxic-Chemicals Released into Air. 911 Operator Quoting: DoorBert LOUISIANA: RIGHT NOW! MAJOR EXPLOSION AND HUGE FIRE AT A CHEMICAL PLANT IN GEISMAR. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL RUSHING. EMS REQUESTED ON A RUSH. [link to twitter.com] Snips on LA Explosion An enormous explosion shook a chemical plant in Geismer, Louisiana, just south of Baton Rouge on Wednesday. The blast was followed by a huge fire. 25 have been injured in the blast, with fatality numbers currently unconfirmed. Emergency crews are on the scene and have reported injuries. A hazardous materials team has also been dispatched to the fire. 25 people have been confirmed injured in the explosion by the Louisiana Emergency Response Network. Currently there have been no reported deaths. Iberville Office of Emergency Preparedness have stated that six burn victims have been transported to various hospitals via helicopter, with emergency officials still manning the scene. After the initial blast, clouds of thick black smoke could be seen billowing towards the sky, visible from a local school. Flames could be seen rising from two separate locations. "It looked like a pretty big explosion - it looks like Williams have taken all the precautions they can do to evacuate all the personnel. The firefighters are responding as needed," witness Ryan Meador told local station 90 WAFB. St. Gabriel residents are being told to take shelter from Highway 3115 to Highway 74 as a precautionary measure. A man named Todd Stiles who worked half a mile away told the New Orleans-based Times-Picayune that he and his colleagues were instructed to either shelter in place or evacuate. He reportedly didn't hear the explosion as he was located in a blast-proof area, but told the paper that some people had seen a 'fireball in the air.' The air quality in the area has started being monitored by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality and Environmental Protection Agency. They are currently unsure of the levels and specific chemicals that could be leaking into the atmosphere. "We're just in the very beginning of this." They told the Times-Picayune. Other buildings in the area are reportedly being evacuated, and there are fears another explosion could happen, the fire is not fully under control. A nearby plant told the 90 WAFB channel that the major risk is butadiene spheres, in which crude budatiene is stored under pressure as a liquid. |

Nothing out of the ordinary going on except they seem to be rerouting a lot of pipelines in the area, but that's been going on for a few months now. So the explosion did not have any immediate effects. Official reports are saying 73 injured, 1 dead. However, I heard, 100 injured, 2 dead. I also heard the hospitals in Baton Rouge are on lock down, meaning employees cannot leave until all the injured get treated. Here is a link to a local news channel that has a live feed of the area. It also has some video clips, too. [link to www.wafb.com] I'm pretty close to the area so if you got any questions. Please let me know. I'll try to get you an answer. |
