I was thinking that exact thought.

I was out mowing the lawn when it happened and it looked like 20 747s crashed one after the other!

Ran inside and cranked up the volume and listened all night.

They had a cell phone in the mobile command center that must have been left unattended and was on all night spewing out all the "hot skinny" (good old analog days) :beer:

Interview with a PIO right now. Media keeps pestering him to speculate about the cause and give the dimensions of the pipe, and no matter how they ask it, he just says that they're trying to contain it right now, and once it's contained they'll investigate.

Interview lasted about 6 minutes for those two questions.

23:45: about 50% contained. One confirmed death.
