Note what he's saying - those other products are safe unless

[malaise]

The unless is unless fire reaches them - then expect a massive explosion like the one a few years ago in West, Texas

1. Non sequitur

No clue who or what you are talking about.

2. The organic peroxide plant in Crosby Texas

It's had one explosion already and there's a possibility of more.

That's my guess.

[Ms. Toad]

3. Thx

Who is "he"?

5. The person who gave the update on the situation.

The owner or a spokes person, I wasn't sure.

[Ms. Toad]

8. Thx.

Since he often refers to the resident of the WH, in an effort to avoid saying his name, I was confused. I don't have access to live reports.

9. You're welcome.

I just happen to be following the story, too. It has potential to be a big mess at this point, but hopefully it won't be as bad as it could be.

[malaise]

6. You are correct

[herding cats]

7. I'm following the situation there, too.

[herding cats]

4. Yep.

It's bad now but it could get worse.

10. The company man was suspiciously uninformative about the chemicals involved.

His answers were deliberately vague and nonspecific. Even the police seemed remarkably uninformed about the nature of the threat to first responders and the public, and several times he said that he was trying to look for information on line.

Texas boasts they have little to no regulations that impede business, but this is a public safety problem. Last night, Rachel Maddow spoke about Texas laws that required almost no safety precautions and protected business interests over the people in the communities.

That man from the company didn't even have a Material Safety Data Sheet which would have explained the chemicals, the safety requirements, exposure symptoms and first aid treatment. Why wasn't that basic, and critical information available to the press, the police, hospitals, fire dept, and handed out to every resident within the exclusion zone?

Texas needs to smarten up and stop this irresponsible pandering to companies that have no concern for people.

11. He was deceptive

on steroids.
