Breaking news. There was an explosion at the ford rouge plant in Dearborn this morning. There are fatalities. MSNBC was covering it.

Prayers go out ... hope no one from the boards works there.

(Yes, this is OT, but its a big deal for Ford, so save it)

From this link it looks like they make the F150 and also serve as a visitors center/point of attraction:
