A oil storage facility about 20 minutes from my house exploded about a 1/2 hour ago, now there's thick black smoke all through the island. So far, NO terrorist activity is suspected.

[quote:db489]NEW YORK, Feb. 21 — An explosion that occurred while a barge was unloading barrels of gasoline sparked a massive blaze Friday at an ExxonMobil petroleum storage facility on Staten Island, a company spokesman said.

did you hear it or jsut see the smoke?

I should think something that big makes a godawful noise when it blows up.

I wasn't home, but my friend said it felt like an earthquake, and he saw all the smoke. The pictures are just like Sept 11th.

I woke up and saw the thing on CNN. So far they haven's said anythign about terrorists.

Wow, I was just on CNN reading about the Club Fire in Warwick Rhode Island at the Great White show and they flash the explosion at NY. Damn scary everything is blowing up and catching on fire these days. I wonder if this shit is giving terrorist any ideas.

nothing they haven't thought about before

[Old Reliable]

AWESOME! INHALE THAT SWEET SMELL OF BURNING PETROL FELLAS!!! LETS PUNCH A HOLE IN THE OZONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It could be terrorists, you never know.
They don't even have to be ragheads, various radical groups like Aryan Nations support Al Quaeda because they hate the government for "supporting Israel".

Remeber that teh anthrax attacks were caused by an American.
