Massive explosion at Texas fertilizer plant

This is certainly one hell of a week for news. Prayers for everyone.
twitter is basically where im at now
So far, this tragedy has caused more confirmed deaths than the Boston marathon, and yet is receiving significantly less national attention. I guess the marathon incident was directly malicious, but still though...

There's actually a reason it's prohibited in The Burnley Tunnel...

Who cares?

I would prefer if it was deliberate.

Think about it.

If it was an accident, that would mean that the government over there would spend millions of dollars to make sure it wouldn't happen again.
How would they get this extra money?

Higher taxes.

If, on the other hand, it was deliberate...

All the government would have to do is to arrest them.

That option is much cheaper than reforming the fertilizer service, which means that taxes would not be raised.

Therefore, I would prefer if the fertilizer explosion was deliberate.

The government doesn't have to spend any money in the first place to reform it, and if they did, they would have to reform the industry even if it was deliberate.
This is horrible, Hop that the people in the explosion survived. Man these kind of situations suck. Specially if there were any little kids there.
