    Interesting news but calling this “Domestic Terrorism” at this early stage might be a bit premature. For all we know at this could just be a disgruntled employee or a few
    misguided local kids looking to put a stupid video on you-tube.

    Good point, scary if it is that simple of a reason for the blast. Will keep my eyes open for the video on You Tube!
