A woman already said she saw an UFO attacking the place... so aside from that light note...

News are crazy. If you understand spanish: http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/WUNO_AM.asx

Yep, not terrorists, definitely a UFO.

IT BEGINS!

 

[expy]

At first sight, I thought it was a volcano.

Crazy though, wonder what it is, natural or some terrible accident.

 

[Dead Prince]

me and my friend from PR just had a fight. i think you know what that means.

Police dude says that the fire is limited to the industrial facility (no houses in danger), but theyre worried about other tanks exploding.

Damn aliens hating on our freedom through cowardly acts of terrorism.

 

[msdstc]

That's crazy, the pictures are insane. Is it still burning bright or are they containing it?

Holy shit, a Gulf gas station exploded in Guaynabo indeed.

[jamesinclair]

Ok, why the fuck is there traffic ar 2:30am?

 

[Relix]

Breaking: There are gas lines that connect to the refineries and THEY CANNOT disconnect it. The lines go all the way to the power plant mere miles away from me. Also connected with many additional places.

It's a huge city... in the highway... =P

 

[sotodefonk]

holy shit, it looks pretty bad :S I hope they can mitigate this quick

 

[fernoca]

I'm too far from the explosion, if it wasn't because a friend called me the very moment of it..I would be oblivious to it; since the 3 main channels around here are showing some old-ass movies right now.

 

[General Sherman]

I have been studying a lot of control system research papers recently. I hopefully they put all the SCADA failsafes in. If not this could get much worse very fast.

 

[fernoca]

1. Many people work around this time
2. Thursday is usually "the day" to hangout.

 

[jamesinclair]

Ha, the radio station talking about how the local TV channels havent shown anything.

 

[Guts Of Thor]

I'm in awe that the explosion was strong enough to register as a fucking earthquake!!

 

[MThanded]

CNN is slow as hell. Ironically they are showing being latino in america.

Exactly this is some serious shit.

 

[speculawyer]

Holy crap . . . that is a massive fireball.

 

[Mindlog]

I hear San Juan and I hear Viequez and I hear Bayamon.

and what the fuck I might be a little tipsy, but I hear my Aunt on that WUNO AM feed.

Its Thursday, that's the night to party for college students... and in PR that's quite early, usually the parties end at 4

 

[Andvary]

A witness is saying an airplane fell down.

 

[Beardz]

Ha, the radio station talking about how the local TV channels havent shown anything.

an old lady is saying a plane crashed on the site...

Even funnier is fox news website headliner

"Anti-Michael Moore movie industry takes on the filmmaker at his own game, spoofing his tactics and even leveling attacks on his tax statements and past stock holdings. "

 

[MThanded]

nothing on the us news. I am expecting something soon. I really need to go to bed but i want to see some coverage first.

And yet the google satellite pics shows every road empty in the middle of the day....

That I have to see.


Any updates on what actually might have caused this?

 

[Mindlog]

I'm almost certain the lady talking about dios was my Aunt. They have a place in San Juan although they are normally in Isabella.

Uh oh.. They better evacuate everyone ASAP.

 

[Relix]

Breaking: They are only allowing trucks full of fuel to get out of the place to avoid further explosions. The plane theory is gaining traction as there have been a few reports. Of course, nothing certain. Guess I won't sleep tonight.

EDIT: No, just debunked. They are saying the plant just malfunctioned probably.

 

[tapedeck]

Holy shit. I hope they can get people out of there.

Google satellite shows my home....10 years ago.

Anywayz back to the explosion at hand.

 

[Phaethon0017]

Wow! That fire is massive!

 

[Zozz]

Looks like a plane might have hit.

 

[Relix]

Breaking: One of the buildings nearby could have been blown away. There were employees inside. Also! A airplane was reported missing minutes prior to that.

 

[jamesinclair]

Where is Jack Bauer?

He only responds to incidents reported by CNN. So as far as he knows...
