Chemical Plant Explosion

Seen the aerial photos of this? Looks like someone dropped a really big bomb.

Fire crews raced to the scene of the explosion at CAI Chemical Company at 126 Water St., in Danvers and emergency teams searched the area looking for injured people.
And
"Everything right now is structural. From what we could see from the air, it didn't look like it was a flammable liquids fire. It was structural," Tutko said. "It looks like a war zone. It's devastating."

"It was a very violent explosion. Something went very bad, very quickly inside that building," State Fire Marshal Stephen Coan said. "It's one of the more violent explosions I can think of in recent times.

"Authorities said some 90 nearby homes were damaged by the explosion and an estimated 15 to 25 may eventually have to be torn down. They said an estimated 300 people were at home asleep in the area when the blast occurred.
With the effectiveness of this destruction, makes you wonder what is really out there for really dangerous plants.

My point?

Think terrorist.
