If it's the one of which I'm thinking, I pass by this whenever I go to Middletown or points west. It's huge. People in my town, about 25 minutes east of it, could feel the ground shake.

The story said 50 were in the building but 250 were injured? That had to be a huge, huge explosion.

Several reported killed, 14 injured, not 250 .... hospitals were treating the injured and did not expect any more four hours after the blast, which was felt several miles away.

This sounds grim, from the Courant:

"There are bodies everywhere," a witness said.

 

[Smallpotatoes]

Five dead so far. The last report I saw said that there was no reliable list available of who was working there at the time.

Buddy of mine lives in Middleton.

His apartment building burned down early Friday.

What's going on up there?
