You have a link for that? Because AP news (dated 9 minutes ago) is saying: There was no indication the blast, which sent up a mushroom-shaped plume of smoke and left behind a crater, was anything other than an industrial accident, he said.

Guest LadyC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 i can't find a single place in my city taking donations for the victims of west gold dust, i think you're confusing terms... texas isn't being treated as a crime scene. the town of west, texas, IS being treated as a disaster scene. and rightfully so, because that's what it is. the explosion occurred about 8pm last night. it was felt as far away as dallas and arlington... that's the nature of an explosion involving fertilizer. this wasn't criminal, it wasn't terrorist activity, it was an accident. last night the local news was so saturated with coverage i never did get to see a full weather report. i watched the 9pm news, and the 10pm news. i finally turned it off and checked the computer at 10:25 to find out what time the storm would be rolling in.

Contact the local tv station and tell them that. Go to your local bank and ask them to set up something. Contact the red cross and see if they are taking donations specifically for that event.

Guest LadyC Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 red cross is only taking financial donations... same for salvation army. easier to send money than to transport actual items. i did post a request for donation drop-off locations on the fox 4 news page on facebook. (they've been updating locations that they learn of via facebook all morning.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are designating the area around that plant as a crime scene right now but the authorities believe it is actually an awful accident.
