Please change Malcolm Frazier age. That is wrong. He was 46, but the news people got it wrong. Thanks.

Let me clarify some things up. I simply made a response to the comment that another person made. "The price of sugar went up." That does not mean the me and zzeroxxero do not care about the people at all. That's actually the opposite of the reality that some people believe. I care a lot about this tragedy. I know people whose husbands and grandparents and neighbors were killed because of this tragic event. This is my community that I live in. Everything that happens affects me greatly.

I had to have now school at portwentworth elementrey school because of that explosion.Everyone was talking about it when we were riding on the bus and during class.I thought the plant would not get on fire but how did it get on fire at that time?

I think it is sad that someone has to attack a 15 year old kid who is simply trying to inform kids his own age on breaking news stories. Keep up the good work kid!

Thank you. I really appreciate your understanding.

hey dude u are a fag i know people that were there and u shouldnt be worried about sugar what if it was your family member man would you worry about sugar price 14 are still in critical and the toll was 9 dead so i dont think four dollars is worth the price of these peoples lives

here's a question: what does a massive sugar fire smell like?¿

[zzeroxxero]

There's such a long back order on sugar right now because of this. I had such a hard time trying to secure more than 2 containers of sugar at work. Prices have already gone up more than 4 dollars per bag from the other factories with a long list of backorders.

And today was the FIRST working day since the explosion too...

[newschannel15]

Wow. Are you serious? That's pretty unbelievable. I guess we should stock up somehow.

[zzeroxxero]

Well, I think unless you're running a factory, wholesale, redistribution, large bakery or restaurant... it shouldn't affect you too much. Each bag I was talking about is 50lbs per.

[newschannel15]

Ohhh.. got it. I was wondering because four more dollars for a small five pound bag is a lot.

[april271990]

Are you serious? I hope I am wrong about this.You sound like you are worried more about the price of sugar going up than the people that got hurt or even lost their lives. Sad.

[zzeroxxero]

It's sad that the people were hurt and dead, yes, but that's not my industry, nor am I capable to deal with it. However, sugar is in my business and something like this COULD be a potentially serious economic impact to this region of our country as well as many more workers and their corresponding lives.

To all our own, our own responsibilities that we must to attend to. Indirect as it may be, is still important.
