Natural gas tanks explode in Dallas
DALLAS, Texas (AP) — A series of explosions at a facility that sells liquefied natural gas sent flaming debris raining onto highways and buildings near downtown Dallas. At least two people were injured, hospital officials said.
Authorities evacuated a half-mile area surrounding the Southwest Industrial Gases Inc. facility and shut down parts of two of the area’s busiest highways, Interstates 30 and 35.
“I thought it was artillery. It was just coming just boom, boom, boom,” said witness Tony Love, a former Army soldier.
Video footage showed numerous small fires burning in the area as stacks of gas cylinders caught fire and exploded. Watch blasts send flames into the sky »
At the edge of the evacuation zone is Dallas County’s main jail and criminal courts building, but operations continued there uninterrupted, said Deputy Michael Ortiz of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department.
“We are prepared to go into any emergency mode that’s needed, but we feel pretty secure here in the jail,” Ortiz said.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s emergency responders were on the way to the scene, said Dave Bary, a spokesman for the agency’s regional office. He said they will assist in monitoring the air, but had no information yet.
Parkland Hospital spokesman Robert Behrens said two people injured by the explosions had been brought to his hospital in serious condition. E-mail to a friend

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
