What retarded liberal fucktard will try and blame Republicans
for this?

MOBILE, Alabama (Reuters) - Explosions and resulting fires on
two barges in the Mobile River off the Alabama city's shore
injured three people and forced officials to evacuate nearby
shipyards and one cruise vessel on Wednesday.

Mobile Fire Chief Steve Dean said that for safety reasons
firefighters were keeping a distance from the barges, which were
carrying raw gasoline and had already been the source of
multiple explosions.

The barge explosions forced the crew of Carnival Corp's cruise
vessel Triumph to evacuate.

"Everybody is just monitoring the situation right now," Dean
told reporters.

Three people with a team servicing the barges were injured and
transported to Mobile's University of South Alabama Medical
Center, Mobile Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Steve
Huffman said. A hospital spokesman said separately that they
were all in critical condition.

The barges were carrying raw gasoline, Huffman said. Fire
officials had originally said the barge explosions involved
natural gas.

Huffman had no information on who owns the barges or what was
their destination.

The cause of the explosions was unknown and would not be
determined until after firefighters reached the vessels, he said.

Carnival Corp's Triumph previously made headlines in February
when an engine fire left it and 4,000 passengers adrift in the
Gulf of Mexico, until they were towed back to land.
