With the Boston news event going on, I have seen very little on this explosion.

Saddened by all the damage, injured, and dead.

After checking out the online sources, it looks like this was a small plant, much like hundreds or more, that are scattered across the country, just like in my town. Appears the buildings were approx 80x150, and 40x100, and a couple storage bins.

Kind of makes you wonder why these are so close to population centers.
Even a half mile buffer zone would have saved much suffering.

But, chances are the plant was there, and the town grew up around it.

Also, explosion seems to have been a very directional blast, aimed directly at the apartment building and the nursing home.

Peace to all those effected.
