losives. The explosion came 10 days
after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S., and raised
fears at the time it was linked. A 2006 report blamed the
blast on negligence.President Obama, in a statement released Thursday, thanked
first responders in the "tight-knit" Texas community."I want to thank the
first responders who worked tirelessly through the night to contain the
situation and treat the wounded," the statement read. "My Administration,
through FEMA and other agencies, is in close contact with our state
and local partners on the ground to make sure there are no
unmet needs as search and rescue and response operations continue. West
is a town that many Texans hold near and dear to their
hearts, and as residents continue to respond to this tragedy, they will
have the support of the American people."Click for more from MYFoxDFW.com.Click

believe he (President Barack Obama) is instructing his agencies to do things
that inflict the most pain on the most people. This should be
laid right at the president's feet," Shuster said.The FAA's 47,000 employees
-- including nearly 15,000 controllers -- are scheduled for one furlough
day every other week through Sept. 30. That will reduce the number
of controller hours on duty and pay by 10 percent, Huerta said.In
order to maintain safety with fewer controllers, takeoffs and landings will
have to be less frequent, and planes will have to be spaced
farther apart when they are in the air, he said. That reduces
the efficiency of the air traffic system, creating delays, he said.The impacts
may differ depending upon the airport, Huerta said. At Chicago's busy O'Hare
International Airport, for example, it's possible there won't be a full
complement of controllers to staff the airport's two control towers, requiring
one tower to be shutdown. Without a second tower, one of the
airport's runways will have to shut down, reducing takeoffs and landings,
he said. Most airports only operate one control tower.The employee furloughs
will save an estimated $200 million, and the tower closings will save
$25 million, Huerta said.A spokesman for the union that represents air traffic
controllers said the ramifications of the furloughs are still unclear."We
don't know with any specificity what's going to happen until this goes
down," Doug Church of t
