cool. What a neat site. I see it's real time and all...had an alert for bhutto's assassination.
There was also an alert when the T2 Labs exploded.
t2?
T2 was the name of the chemical plant that exploded off of New Berlin Road the other week.
Thanks...so any update on the explosion? Was it related to any activity?
Yeah, the labs were making octane booster. The end product is supposedly pretty stable, however, the process to make it is very dangerous. Supposedly, there was a problem during the manufacturing process that set off a chain reaction and kaplowee!
Check out this thread for a vid of a neighboring buisness...

QuoteOSHA cites lab in fatal explosion
It wasn't determined if violations caused T2 blast
By Dana Treen, The Times-Union
The owners of a Jacksonville laboratory at which four people died in a December explosion have been cited with five serious violations of federal safety standards, according to a report issued Wednesday.
The violations at T2 Laboratories include not providing a blast resistant control room or a backup water supply to cool a high pressure reactor as well as a lack of evacuation and other emergency response plans.
The finding by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration did not determine if the violations caused the explosion. The company has 15 days to respond to the report. It can contest the findings or agree to pay $12,650 in fines.
"We just focus on the violations," OSHA spokesman Mike Wald said.
