True, either way that was one hell of an explosion.

Terrible few days for America.

One minute of searching indicates that a fire broke out at the fertilizer plant and evacuations were already taking place when there was an explosion.

The thread title is just ridiculous and totally unjustfiable. There' absolutely zero, nothing, nada to even hint at any "bomb" and never was.

I think the question mark is sufficient personally.

My first thought when I saw the location of this 2.1 megaton explosion was aliens or testing of reverse engineered alien technology.

Must admit that I did jump to the conclusion that it could be a bomb given the size of the explosion as well as the timing.

When the news broke on twitter this morning there were many people thinking the same thing.

How silly of us all.

You posted a link at the top of this thread that indicated quite clearly that there wasn't even the suggestion of a bomb. Did you not bother to read it first?
