the explosiom of a boat full of ammonium nitrate
"The Texas City Disaster was a major 20th-century industrial accident in
Texas City, Texas (United States). The incident took place on April 16,
1947"
BP had a follow up in the same town

in 2005.

Defiant Israel will hold inquiry into flotilla deaths and blockade legality
Ian Black, Middle East editor, and Harriet Sherwood in Jerusalem
guardian.co.uk, Monday 7 June 2010 19.55 BST
The defence minister, Ehud Barak, told parliament the inquiry would be in
addition to a separate military investigation, and would seek to establish
whether Israel's blockade of Gaza and its raid "met with the standards of
international law".
"We will draw lessons at the political level, [and] in the security
establishment," Barak said.
He stressed the Israeli soldiers involved would not be investigated and said
they would questioned "neither in Hebrew nor in English".
However, he indicated that Israel was also looking at ways to amend its
four-year blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

Quoting -- "Attempts to do without the word in the face of
genocide, torture and flagrant disregard for life, collapse into
euphemistic absurdity."

I'm also a fan of Jack Daniels. I don't drink it
unless we are at or having a party where others
are drinking... But Jack Daniels over ice (on the
rocks, rather than neat, as you do), has always
been my preferred drink.
