Just for the record, this explosion happened 20 miles outside of Waco, and the thing everyone seems to conflate with craziness in regards to Waco happened like ten miles away.
Bad shit happens everywhere on a regular basis. Waco is close to Fort Hood, Baylor and Crawford, so yeah... maybe it can on occasion be a nexus of oddness. But it's not like it's Bartertown or something. Mostly it's boring beyond reason.
I heard about this via the Circa iOS app and then found this Youtube video while CNN was still just showing a map of the area the explosion happened in. The future of news isn't TV.
