Re: Huge fertilizer plant explosion near Waco, Texas

66 years ago this week, a blast very similar to the one in West happened much closer to home - in Texas City. That catastrophe left 500 people dead.

I'm going to guess 210 based on this. Although it seems relative to how close you are. So I'm going by that video from what seemed like a half a mile.

On a child who sounded quite young, the damage to her hearing might be irreversible. At 195dB Human eardrums rupture. (50% of the time)
