KC ChemCentral Plant Explosion

This was taken from a window at work, nine blocks south of the explosion. The building I was in shuddered, then the lights flickered twice. If you listen, you can hear local TV news coverage in the background. Thankfully, no one was killed in the explosion.

yeah i was north of this at I-29,I-35 split.. lights at work flickered 3 times. we figured it was a car hitting a light pole.. then someone about 10 mins later noticed a low dark "cloud".. we then turned on the tv.

Now I see where the EPA is saying ChemCentral failed to identify hazardous substances and failed to notify first responders about them before an explosion. I was at 18th and Grand.

I was on the Broadway extension going south and the smoke was quite visible. Traffic wasn't going that slow. Well, southbound Broadway is already slow during rush hour.

I was at my dad's house sick from school. He was asleep and I heard a big thud. He lives in Liberty. I fliped the TV on 4 hours after and this was on it!
