    Just saw this on the web....a 620 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant being constructed just experienced a massive explosion.

    Reports right now are sketchy but there are at least 2 fatalities with other reports saying it could be upwards of 50. Apparently it was a natural gas explosion during start-up testing.

    Did a quick search and it appears this is a new Siemens 620MW plant being built and was scheduled to be operational in early 2010.

    Very tragic event...

    Natural gas is some scary stuff, I feel for everyone involved and the families that lost loved ones to this accident, having been through a gas explosion myself, it is about the worst thing, the most powerful blast I have ever felt and heat flash from it. I hope all that were injured make a fast recovery.
