Breaking News
Massive explosion w/fireball in Tacoma, WA... The fireball nearly filled the sky. I saw it out my living room window and felt the heat. I live roughly a mile from the foundry where it happened. VERY scary.

Still waiting for official news.

I'll ask my sister if she saw anything. King 5 has a little blurb: http://www.king5.com/

This is where it supposedly happened: http://www.americasttech.com/sub_atlas.asp

9. Just letting you know...
It was, apparently, at the Atlas Foundry. We know what King5 has to say about it on the web, but nothing else.

I'm heading to work, so I won't be able to respond to anything.
