'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If it weren't TX, it would be some other state. It's just inherent ot the business.
A couple of my friend's parents worked across the border for various gas refineries, so we heard lots of stories about workplace accidents involving things going boom.
Gas explosions in Dallas on the news. With NYC, SF and now this I worry.
Any terrorist worth his salt would be taking credit for all of this.
Slacker Al Qaida, nothing sadder.
Seriously, Texas? Maybe the oil business is not the business for you. Klutzy people don't own china shops, you know?
Actually, this one wasn't oil or gas.

Reporter Matthew Haag spoke to Dallas Fire-Rescue Lt. Joel Lavender, who said the fire started on an 18-wheeler on a loading dock on the back side of Southwest. The fire then spread into the building, where tanks of oxygen tanks, helium and acetylene began blowing up.

There actually was some worry about that because it's not far from the federal building where the Holy Land Foundation trial is.

Firefighters hate it when helium tanks blow up - it leads to them talking in high-pitched voices.

Yeah, the explosion at Grand Central was similar for the first half hour or so. Even after we got some information there was a lot of "They ALWAYS say its a transformer..."
(and it turns out it wasn't a transformer, so they probably WERE just saying it...)

Oh. Oh, man.
My bad. I was trying to incinerate the Dalai Lama, but I sneezed.

I'd imagine they also hate the inert gas pushing out and replacing breathable oxygen. Though at least it doesn't contribute to the burning!
I remember the time Mom and I were driving on the bypass road around Philadelphia, and there was a fuel-tank fire happening right next to the highway and they didn't shut down the road at all! We drove past the billowing plume of flame and could feel the heat of the fire as we went past.
