Can you count?
260 people were not admitted to ER that day for hang nails
but real nails blown thru them.
I cannot even understand why you think that is an exaggeration.
Texas killed more people then that but it does not induce terror
in the general population.
The fertilzer plant is not going to move to your neighberhood but the
asshole brothers could.

Another point in contrast that sticks in my craw between the two disasters in Boston and West, Texas is the first responders that were killed in Texas were volunteers. They were not highly paid, highly trained, over benefited, and equipped with state of the art equipment and communication assets.

The Texas boys are the real heros relative to the state enabled forces that commandeered Boston.

<far worse disaster, yet hardly any coverage> In the week following the Texas explosion, 1135 Americans were shot -- tell me about the coverage and outrage that received.
