that's the way things half in texas. when a tragedy like this happens in a small town, small towns respond as well as large ones and that's what's happened in this case. right now the triage unit has very few patients in it. the state trooper who gave the briefing a while ago said all of the injured have been evacuated from town. right now they're concentrated on searching the debris in the blast area looking for more victims or survivors. >> as you mentioned, we're hearing they're going door to door looking for folks who may need assistance. the state official compared the damage from this explosion to the damage in the oklahoma city bombing. now, you were some 60 miles away at this time that this happened and you say you actually felt it. what did you feel? >> i was in kauffman county covering the d.a. death there and the arrest of the justice of the peace and his wife in connection with that case, and i was inside a building about, oh, five minutes till 8:00 central time. and there was a rumble in the glass of the bui

texas. texas has got its own lecture cool grid it's got all the hall and gas and everything it needs it's got all the end of everything it made it can survive by itself without the rest of the united states which is to say the rest united states cannot survive without. the rust people around this country are on the whole world are thinking oil wells when they hear about texas well that was true a long time ago. but now two thousand and thirteen there is more energy coming out of the ground from natural gas and there is from liquid petroleum. and there's enough natural gas discovered already. to fuel texas for the next hundred years or longer this plant behind us that's one of the plants that's capable of burning gas. now because there is so much gas and oil and coal and wind and solar available in texas meaning we have a lot more sunny days. texas is a stand alone area as far as an energy resources it does not need to import energy from other states or from the federal government it can expo

many of them to waco, texas. they also got a great deal of assistance in terms of emergency responders. and from as far away as dallas and ft. worth. they got so much assistance, that officials over the course of the evening, had to tell them to stop coming to stop sending assistance. we're hearing from some hospitals of the nature of the injuries we've seen in this. it ranges, everything from minor cuts and abrasions to burns. we're waiting to hear on the number of fatalities. we have david scott, who is live in west, texas, for more on the story. david, what can you tell us what's happening on the ground there? >> reporter: well, right now, the wait is for dawn in the next couple of hours. that will make the relief and recovery efforts a lot better. we're told that roughly 100 people are injured, more or less. most taken to the medical center in waco. they're not giving out fatality counts. rumors it's fairly high. they want to be sure of the numbers. and they have a lot of rubble yet to go through. >> david, a

first, truly disastrous morning, up near waco, texas. explosion there in texas.

probe no way things are going to republican texas be a whole lot better off when the state of texas texas has got its own like. has got all the oil and gas and everything in me it's got all that and. everything in me you can survive but sell the rest united states which is to say the rest. cannot survive without minding. striving for bread and an independent future. republican texas analyse. let me let me i want to know what all let me ask you a question from. here on this network is what we have in the bank we have our knives out. but if you give the fight to the banks think never again we're in a situation where b. and i don't want to talk about your name and me. please. welcome back to cross talk where all things are considered peter lavelle to mind who were discussing china's pivot. ok and you'll find go back to you in washington is china acting rationally i mean you brought up the issue of rationality go ahead. i think china is acting rationally or rationally meaning what's good for china on. at least in the short to medium term that doesn't necessarily mean that china especially or

that's is how i wrote the book by the era of texas. there is a lot of history but the main reason was to show the stand that women put on the spirit of texas which is so vibrant and so much fun much like what i did with the american women and a leading ladies. and by saying in washington sometimes people think texans are a little too loud and have too much fun and i'll be say it's not new they did not like texas and washington actually when we came in to the nation by a treaty you cannot get the votes in the senate to ratify. said president tyler had to introduce legislation so it waa lot of fraud in texas but it only passed by one vote in the house and one in the senate so i'll is try to mention we probably are but our hearts are as big as our mouth. [laughter] thank you very much. >> i am happy to take questions. >> somebody asked me at the san antonio book festival last weekend when i did a preview someone said which of those women would you trade with? i said nine. [laughter] all that they went through? we think we're on the cusp o

texas? 1.5 million texans will be denied -- not denied, but they would be able to have access to health care coverage if governor perry expanded the roles. if you look at how that affects certain sectors, 38% of the nonelderly latino population in texas is uninsured, compared to 17% of whites. this is coming at a time when rick perry is polls at 26%, which is to say 26% of texans would vote for him if he ran against in 2014. politically this doesn't seem to make much sense for him. >> he turned down race to the top money in education. 550 million of unemployment money, when we were in the middle of the economic crisis. he has a track record of doing this, but on this particular issue, people from all over the political spectrum, from the chambers of congress on the right, to the hospital association, doctors' groups, groups not especially liberal groups that can more conservative. and also catholic charities, religious groups, human rights groups have said this is what texas should do. so he

the texas department of public safety had warned texas prosecutors in december the aryan brotherhood may have been plotting retaliation against law enforcement officials over a major indictment of dozens of members. the u.s. is continuing military drills and south korea amidst heightened tensions with north korean regime. on sunday, the u.s. air force deployed fighter jets to its main base in south korea, two days after north korea put its rocket units on standby for potential attack on u.s. bases. north korea also said it is entering a "state of war" was south korea, but few expected to conduct any aggressive action beyond verbal threats. at least one afghan child and a number of others were killed in -- other people were killed in afghanistan on saturday when a u.s.-led nato helicopter opened fire in an eastern province. the a dignities of the other victims remain under dispute, with conflicting reports of the death toll of either 15 civilians or 9 taliban fighters. india's supreme court has issued a landmark ruling rejecting a longtime effort to block production of cheaper generic

the tragedy in texas has highlighted a risk management failures in the u.s. are raising the question of the threat posed by aging infrastructure right let's cross now to new york with marina live there who's going to talk to us a little bit about who's been reporting in america's distress in week so far marina we have reports on regulation inspectors and agencies to control such sensitive facilities like this what's being done to heighten up safety. the problem is that nothing is being done and it is no secret that america's crumbling infrastructure is considered the most dangerous domestic circumstance lurking in every corner of the country for many many years the american society of civil engineers has given the u.s. grade d. plus when it comes to its infrastructure and there's many reasons that the first first and foremost is because the u.s. is not investing in fixing its infrastructure its bridges its tunnels its airports its security system environmentalists also are saying that safety inspectors are going in and inciting certain facilities such as the

outside of waco, texas. earlier there was an explosion at a fertilizer plant that happened around 750 two p.m., about 8:50 p.m. eastern time. we don't know the casualties of injuries or possible fatalities. we are hearing reports of possibly hundreds of injured and up to two dead. those are preliminary reports and are not confirmed. the blast was felt as far as 15 miles away and could be heard as far as 45 miles away. at this time, officials have a lingering concerns about air quality in the area. they are asking residents to stay indoors to avoid the possibility of coming into contact with toxic fumes. the fire continues to burn. it not only did damage to the plant but damage to surrounding buildings. reports that a nursing home and a middle school were also damaged in this explosion that occurred at a fertilizer plant near waco, texas. again, we don't have a number on casualties or fatalities, but the reports are that there could be possibly hundreds injured. officials have set up a triage area in a field

it looks like small town texas. there's a railroad track sitting in front of me, and there are a few businesses lining the street, old corner drugstore. right now, don't know if you can hear it. one of the owners of the businesses, ray's electric and plumbing, is actually cleaning up the glass that was shattered. this is far away from the explosion, but it was still strong enough, the impact of it was strong enough to break all of this glass. >> steve, this is a town of volunteer firefighters. even the mayor of the town is a volunteer fire fighter. reports earlier about a lot of unconfirmed firefighters. they really couldn't track down where they were. have you talked to any families who had that look in their eye like they haven't heard from their loved ones yet? have they told you anything? >> reporter: we've heard of some those reports concerning firefighters as well. we haven't really been able to confirm anything. we haven't gotten anything official that we can truly report, but there has been some concern abou

probably from texas a&m, texas task force one. i called a friend in austin, i got through, and i said, please notify austin what's going on. i msd, we're going to need more than local. >> reporter: right now is god the only thing that can help you guys? >> yeah. we've got help. you there's an east texas ambulance, limestone, there's a whitney ambulance here. we've got everybody around helping us, but it's a true disaster situation. >> reporter: what are your prayers for today and tomorrow and the next few weeks? >> that we get as many saved as we can. and get them to hospitals where they can get appropriate care. i believe we have a total of six hell koermen helicopters on the way. there's one right there. >> reporter: you look like you're in so much pain. can you even feel that with your adrenaline? >> yeah, but i just know i've got a job to do. thank god i normally go to the scene. i would have got to the fire first. thank god i didn't. i'd probably be dead. my wife wanted to go with me. she's in the truck right there. even on t

in the town of west, texas. charles hadlock and i were talking before the break on the issue of the reports. the report that had come out from the e.p.a., as well as local public safety officials, that was looked at by "the dallas morning news." and, charles hadlock, we had to go to break. you were about to respond what the report had said. they described it in terms to the question of risk of fire or explosions. what was your thought on what i was saying? >> this is a farming community. and this plant made fertilizer, which is used in the region here. that's why the plant is here. of course, anhydrous ammonia is an important source of nitrogen that's used in fertilize for crops in the region. but the improper handling of anhydrous ammonia can have catastrophic results. it's a stable product. you can buy fertilizer at the local hardware store. but the problem comes when there's fire in a contained area. and there are specific warnings. and firefighters know this. that when fighting a fire with anhydrous ammonia,

you might remember in 1947, in texas city, texas, a very similar thing happened. there was a fire on a board that was filled with 2300 tons of that stuff. it blew and it killed over 500 people. so this is what we're dealing with in west texas. >> wow. todd, thank you so much for joining us. todd starns from fox news the radio. you've been bringing us perspective there and the latest details. thank you so much. >> thank you, the elizabeth. >> for our folks at home, we heard from a trooper who said that it looks like iraq, and that the murray building in the oklahoma city building is a good comparison, showing you how much devastation we're seeing in west texas. stay with us. we'll have more information after the break. >>> this is a fox news alert. we continue to monitor the situation out of west texas where we heard earlier there are more than 100 injuries in that plant explosion, and we also know there have been fatalities. we're hours away from a press conference where we're learn more. a large team of federal investigators are heading to central texas to invest

this happened in the center of downtown west texas. we are not talking about geographically speaking west. we are talking about the town is called west, texas. it is about 20 miles north of waco and 80 miles south of dallas. the firefighters had said this happened in the downtown area. the winds are blowing to the south. all of the people south have been evacuated. the wind was carrying the chemical fumes. the concern has been in the next few hours around 7:00, 8:00 in the morning that these winds are going to shift to the north. if that happens obviously the people up wind, north of the low cation could be this dangerous -- north of the location could be in danger. they are looking at the weather patterns very closely as well and monitoring that situation. it is not just the fires, but it is not just the smoldering debris they are concerned about. it is the chemical that appears to be lingering in the air, elizabeth. >> for some of the viewers who were tuning in, you left from dallas late last night and traveled through the early morn

>>> the fire and the explosion at the texas fertilizer plant rocked the town of west, texas, last night. the entire town, much of it destroyed. the explosion blew out walls and windows in nearby buildings. the rumblings could be felt as far as 50 miles away. now officials are still telling us they believe between 5 and 15 people were killed. there's some firefighters who are still unaccounted for as we speak. more than 160 others were injured. search and rescue teams are still trying right now to find victims. and christine romans looks into how this happened. have there been past regulatory issues for this fertilizer company. >> reporter: before the explosion, this is what the plant looked like, it was a facility authorized to hold, we're told, up to 54,000 gallons of anhydrous ammonia, that's a farm fertilizer stored under high pressure, a gas stored under high pressure and is loaded on to trucks to be used to put into sprayers and sprayed on farm fields. now, it was cited, this plant, in 2006 for a lingering smell of ammonia. there was a complaint into state officials. we have this f

city texas fire and. which killed twelve hundred people that was at a monsanto chemical plant that was in a town very near to houston so very significant timing and very eerie as well when it comes to the day we heard from the people that we've spoken to tonight about how these are their friends their colleagues the people they know they've grown up with it's a town of less than three thousand people and a very strong spirit and this is when things like this happen these people rally together so that they can help each other get through this the social media sphere is now bursting with comments on the tragedy md i would this is have been posting some of their footage and snapshots of the blast seize these images from twitter which of course is a lot i do with the discussions of the disaster the massive smoke cloud from the blast was pictured by several people and the images of the mayhem in the area surrounding the plant also be made available collapsed and burning buildings as well as survivors. say with

>> the aryan brotherhood of texas was a chapter in texas, but it was denied injury and created their own subset. they are one of the most violent in the united states. if they decided to do this hit on this family, they changed a lot of the rules. there has always been a rule that law enforcement didn't mess with your family outside of you and you didn't mess with law enforcement's family outside of them personally. them attacking and killing his wife is going to change the scales. >> that would indicate to me. a further insight as to how it operates. if they began this targeting local officials. will they be deterred by a massive hunt by law enforcement or continue killing? >> i don't think that this is going to deter them. it will be interesting to see in the long run if as you guys said, they did dot first hit and they have done the second hit. i know they are offering protection to different people in the courthouse, but 30, 60, 90 days out, are people going to want to pay for the guard and once that diminishing and goes down, will they decide to hit again. the aryan brotherhood
