"A fire had broken out earlier at the fertilizer plant, and the explosion occurred while firefighters were trying to put it out.

“It was a small fire and then water got sprayed the ammonia nitrate, and it exploded just like the Oklahoma City bomb,” said Jason Shelton, a clerk at the Czech Best Western Hotel in West. “I live about a thousand feet from it and it blew my screen door off and my back windows. There’s houses leveled that were right next to it. We've got people injured and possibly dead.”"

70+ are dead, 5 firefighters and 1 cop confirmed at this point. I think this was just a tragic accident with no foul play.

60-70 fatalities, 200-300 injured. My family owns a ranch 10 miles from West and home is about 30 minutes south.
