If you want news about the Boston manhunt, it’s all over the place. Mr. Google is your friend.

Nope, I want to draw your attention to this rather startling admission in February from the West, Texas fertilizer plant’s managers. They:

had informed a state agency in February that it was storing up to 270 tons of ammonium nitrate – the highly explosive chemical compound used in the domestic terror attack on the Oklahoma City federal building.

The company’s risk management plan, filed with the federal Environmental Protection Agency in 2011, made no mention of ammonium nitrate.

“Hey, we know what we’re doing. No need to tell anyone in the town, the state or in the Federal government that we’ve got about 20 times as much ammonium nitrate as was used in the construction of the Murragh Building bomb stored on site within a few hundred yards of schools and a nursing home and a bunch of private houses.”

I’ll give you odds that nobody goes to jail for that kind of stupidity, but somebody should. Failing that, a civil suit for gross negligence ought to put Atlas Grain, Inc. out of business for good.
