I wish I could toss this off with a snide remark but it’s such a damned disgrace:
FORT WORTH, Texas — Several explosions are occurring and flames are shooting hundreds of feet into the air from a chemical plant in the industrial section of north Fort Worth.
The 4-alarm fire has engulfed the Valley Solvents and Chemicals plant in the 2500 block of Northeast 33rd at Bethlehem, just east of Interstate 35-W and west of Sylvania, and several blocks north of 28th Street.
Thick, black smoke is spewing into the sky and can be seen for several miles.
It is uncertain whether the flames are toxic. Firefighters have been instructed to stay back for their safety.
Witnesses described the ground shaking during a series of explosions.
