Not sure if it was you but I do remember reading a comment within the last month or two on here stating that the place was an accident waiting to happen in terms of fire.. sad it has

Not sure but it looks big

Stay clear. There will be toxic gases in that smoke.

A thread has now started in the news section. It states early reports are there could have been around 1000 people inside. :(

Absolutely...Here in Rassada about 5 kms away you can still see the huge plume even in the night sky. Fortuantely is seems to be a column straight up to high elevations. Still, I am closing all the windows and turning on the air, there could be a great deal of particulate fallout as well.
