cbs11tv.com – Gas Explosion Rocks Dallas — Why does the King of the Hill TV show come to mind?

Several explosions and a large fire rocked an industrial company near downtown Dallas Wednesday morning. A truck behind the business, which is a welding supply Co.


As long as it wasn’t propane.

    Funny how I’ve never heard of this happening with wind, solar, or tidal power. Yes, I know this wasn’t a power plant. I just like to twist everything to make my point. Still though, Of the three I listed, the worst catastrophe I can really imagine is a domino effect of wind turbines falling into each other. So, if we space them far apart, we should be fine.

  2. Todd says:

    there is video of the explosions, and fragments @ Dallasnews.com. I am reminded of Halflife2 when I watch it. Pretty cool. I only hope that no one died, that would really make me feel guilty about watching with such enthusiasm.

  3. BubbaRay says:

    You can’t believe the devastation — there is no traffic flow now N/S from Houston or San Antonio to Oklahoma, from El Paso to Texarkana or Shreveport E/W, the entire Interstate system is messed up. The “funniest” TV interview was with a man due in court this morning (the main Dallas court building is less than a mile away) and he was ecstatic that his hearing had been postponed.

    D’oh!

    #1 – Wind turbines kill innocent birdies.

    As long as no one was killed, big explosions are cool.

  6. Steve says:

    #1 You twisted it very well this time since it has nothing to do with “energy” production.

  7. Mr. Fusion says:

    Hhmmm, all that gas? Now what jokes can I make about gas, …

  8. Misanthropic Scott says:

    #5 – iGW,

    Yes. And bats. Global warming is already killing many more than the turbines will. Birds arrive expecting caterpillars to eat only to find that they came and went 2 weeks earlier. Birds are adjusting their migrations due to warming, but not as quickly as the caterpillars are adjusting their hatch time.

    Aerial views of downtown Dallas this evening show zero traffic on the mixmaster and outlying Interstates, where I-30, I-45, I-35 and several loops all come together. Eerie.

    Imagine D.C. without the government — that’s what it looked like. Some people ran out of gas in traffic backed up for twenty miles in all directions. I’d hate to be the guy who watched a giant acetylene tank hurtling like a rocket directly for his car….

    #7, as long as it’s not about propane. propane is an odorless, tasteless gas I’ll have you know

    Damn, first floods and now an explosion. What’s next BubbaRay?

  12. BubbaRay says:

    11, Hop, At least with all the rain, the lake levels are back to normal and the bass fishing has been excellent. Who knows, maybe we’ll get some of those great UFO’s 🙂
