The Dad who was filming thought he was just recording a huge fire at the plant, what he didn't know was it was about to explode.

CNN reported last night that a fertilizer plant exploded near Waco around 8:50 pm. The plant is about 18 miles north of Waco. It was a fertilizer tank that exploded. The video here shows a dad and daughter were a few miles away and were filming when it exploded.

It actually registered a 2.1 on the Richter scale. For reference the Oklahoma City bombing was a 3.0 on the Richter scale.

Many deaths and injury's have been reported but no exact numbers as of now.
