What the fuck...

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Firefighters and emergency personnel are investigating after an explosion in NW Oklahoma City.

The explosion occurred just before 9:30 Wednesday night at 812 N. Bryant.

Officials tell us it was a tank battery that exploded. The cause is unknown at this time. The area surrounding the tank battery is being evacuated.

Police, EMSA, and the Oklahoma City Fire Department are all on scene. There are several propane tanks in the area that are threatened by the flames.

Update: Just a lightning strike, no injuries http://www.koco.com/news/oklahomane...OKC/-/11777584/19794718/-/r3x9ls/-/index.html

[MechDX]

Tha fuck

 

[shadyspace]

I don't know what to think

 

[BoosterDuck]

Wow

 

[MThanded]

Ok this is getting out of hand now.

 

[Devolution]

OKC and Waco? I just can't believe in coincidences now.

 

[speculawyer]

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

This is getting ridiculous.

Makes me happy that all we had around here was some a-hole shooting up a transformer substation.

 

[harmonize]

This is getting fucking bizarre.

 

[NomarTyme]

Need more confirmation...

 

[Volotaire]

Huh> Another one?

 

[Psychoward]

OKC and Waco? I just can't believe in coincidences now.

Yeah it is incredibly weird.

 

[OttomanScribe]

Seriously? My wife is waiting in line to catch a plane to the States, should I call her and tell her not to get on?

 

[legacyzero]

OKC and Waco? I just can't believe in coincidences now.

This. Gettin weird.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Hopefully its something small and people are just edgy due to recent events.

 

[AnathemicOne]

I read this as "Explosions in Northeastern OKCupid"

Edit: In all seriousness, this is just getting out of hand

 

[BlackSalad]

Wat

 

[wenis]

Good luck to those people... Really need some good news one of these days.

nothing is going on. this happens every. damn. time. it's always people trying to connect events that have nothing to do with one another together for no good reason other than paranoia setting in.

 

[sflufan]

It was caused by a lightning strike -- let's not lose our heads here.

 

[B-Dubs]

This is just getting freaky.

 

[~Kinggi~]

OKC and Waco? I just can't believe in coincidences now.

Yeah..........arent there even anniversaries involved now?

Needs to be said so much more.

 

[K.Sabot]

We've had tornado inducing storms all evening, a bit of perspective would help this story a bunch.

 

[Speevy]

I don't care how many of these things happen. I just want to read that no one was hurt.

 

[RiZ III]

Shit explodes all the time. It's a huge country. Unless this was a very big explosion, it's just the media feeding into the explosion hysteria.

 

[Devolution]

Yeah..........arent there even anniversaries involved now?

Waco Siege and OKC Federal Bombing Anniversaries are this Friday.

It's just really weird both would have accidents involving fires/explosions on the same night.

 

[equap]

just another coincidence.

 

[speculawyer]

Seriously? My wife is waiting in line to catch a plane to the States, should I call her and tell her not to get on?

No. This is just random coincidences AFAIK. The fertilizer plant is probably just an industrial accident. And Oklahoma has a lot of oil & gas industry there so probably another accident.

If they're evacuating people like it says it might be worse.

just another coincidence.

But that is a REALLY freaky coincidence

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

This week is seriously depressing. I'm so sad now... my week is pretty much ruined now... :/

My Condolence to everyone and their families affected in all these horrible accidents this week... : (

Damn. That's nuts.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I'm saying it's a connected pattern and it's right wing wackos who've been scheming on this here thing we call the internet.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Terrorist attacks, explosions, black president? This is starting to sound like 24 season 6. And on the fourth day...

 

[MechDX]

 

[Stinkles]

No. This is just random coincidences AFAIK. The fertilizer plant is probably just an industrial accident. And Oklahoma has a lot of oil & gas industry there so probably another accident.

We also overreport coincidences when we start looking for patterns. A story that would only ever be local news normally, becomes national when it appears connected.

Worst season of 24 ever.

 

[MrPink93485]

Worst season of 24 ever.

But the first four episodes were oh so glorious.

people are so stupid.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Change the fucking thread title already

 

[Alucrid]

But that is a REALLY freaky coincidence

I don't think lightning much cares for anniversaries.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Worst season of 24 ever.

And just right after the best season of 24 too.

 

[Psychoward]

Change the fucking thread title already

Sorry, didn't know I could change the title, thought only mods could do that for some reason.

Wait, It still didn't change the title of the actual thread

 

[harmonize]

That's just what it wants you to think.

 

[RSLAEV]

people are so stupid.

Not stupid at all given the circumstances described in this thread.
