More Chemical Fire and Explosion Photos

[dbphotos]

Here are some pics from today's explosion at the Valley Solvent and Chemical Plant. Quite an amazing display of explosions. I could feel the heat and rumble. Luckily only 4 minor injuries.

And you can see a few more at www.pbase.com/dbphotos

I know I have some areas that are blown out, but it was very hard to get the ISO and aperature right on as the weather, clouds and smoke/fire kept changing. An interesting experience for sure.

Good shots of a bad place to be at the right time. The news reports made it sound pretty bad and the explosions looked bad. Glad you made it out safely.
