And one of the reasons we know so little about it is that the news channels are doing wall-to-wall coverage in Boston, but the Texas thing is, Oh, yeah, that's right, something happened but what was it again?

Each and every person in Texas died every bit as unnecessarily as those in Boston. But what are the chances of the owners of that facility ever facing charges, let alone jail time?

Corporate murder is simply business as usual, apparently.
