A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco on Wednesday night injured dozens of people and sent flames shooting into the night sky, leaving the factory a smoldering ruin following a blast that damaged buildings for blocks in every direction.

The explosion at West Fertilizer in West, a community about 20 miles north of Waco, happened shortly before 8 p.m. and could be heard as far away as Waxahachie, 45 miles to the north.

Are you now taking over from Doha News ?

Yes, an explosion. Nothing to suggest terrorism. Perhaps there was an electrical fault or perhaps the safety was lacking..

Lets see what the investigators say..
