In the aftermath of the Boston horrors, a massive explosion has occurred at a fertlizer plant in Waco, Texas. This week is the 20th anniversary of the deadly seige in Waco. Russia Today reports that at least 10 other buildings are on fire, including the town middle school, and a large swath of the town was “leveled” in the explosion. The explosion occurred around 7:50pm local time. A fireball of nearly 100 feet high has been reported along with a massive power outage. The images and scale of this explosion are incredible and reports are coming in people still trapped. The explosion could be heard from 100 miles away in Dallas. The explosion followed the outbreak of a fire at the plant – and occurred as firefighters were working on the blaze.
UPDATE: Entire town (within a mile radius) to be evacuated – toxic fumes may be spreading
UPDATE: Hospital told to anticipate 100 people with injuries, Hospital CEO tells CNN
