Texas launches criminal probe into plant explosion

[Half-Century Man]

11. WHAAAAAAAAAAA.

1st: Bomb making materials? a wind up clock, batteries and some wire? Somebody in Texas who has black powder or gunpowder? In a state full of gun owners and shell reloaders. Blasting caps, I have known people who had blasting caps, they had an pyrotechnics license (or whatever you call it, it was when I worked in Rochelle Il, at the slaughter house). Kinda vague.

2nd Is someone suggesting an EMT built and held onto a bomb until he could sneak into the fertilizer plant for some nefarious reason? That 270 tons of illegally manufactured and stored explosives is a side note?

Is there mandatory drug testing in Mclennan Co. Texas?
