Is the place marked "Triage" where they performed triage, or some building named Triage?

They had a open triage area set up at the high school football field. 

Some really good photos here:

35 dead, according to the town's mayor.

There's some suggestion that it wasn't ammonia nitrate this time, but tanks of liquid anhydrous ammonia, which can with certain narrow conditions explode.

Amazing the difference in press coverage between this and Boston, considering the death impact of both.

I've been thinking that.  CNN's given pride of place to every Boston-related tidbit for the past couple days.  I think I saw one tiny link to the Richter Scale tidbit on West.

I saw two headlines on my iPhone's CNN app yesterday which caused me to delete the app in a fit of pique. One was "Man in Cowboy Hat Helps Victims" and the other (even better) one was "Person Near Bomb Blast Was Momentarily Deaf".

Fuck you, CNN. Fuck you and fuck your excuse for journalism.

Yeah, though admittedly that man was extremely dense to take his 13 year old daughter to within 200 yards of a fire at a chemical plant.

The way that girl says "please get me out of here" or a variation, four times was very human, best commentary so far on the event.

Not to the dead people.

CNN has been a joke for a while now, bro.

Lighten up, Francis.  Accidents have finite body counts.  Terrorism suspects yet to be apprehended may not.
