Let me help you out

A fire or explosion in the next few days at a flooded chemical plant on the outskirts of Houston is virtually inevitable, its CEO warned on a call with reporters Wednesday. The Arkema Inc. factory in Crosby, Texas, 20 miles northeast of downtown Houston, lost power early Sunday, which it needs to refrigerate volatile chemicals. Those chemicals ignite if they get too warm ? something likely to happen in the next six days, Arkema North America CEO Richard Rowe said
quote:
Materials could now explode and cause a subsequent intense fire,” Rowe said. “The high water that exists on site, and the lack of power, leave us with no way to prevent it.” “We’re really blocked from taking meaningful action,” he added. The company powered its coolers with backup generators at first, but they were overwhelmed by water and have failed, leaving the chemicals to warm. Residents living within 1.5-mile radius of the plant were evacuated Tuesday, along with a skeleton crew of Arkema workers who had stayed behind during the storm in case of an emergency.

Houston shouldn't have chemical plants, it's their own fault.
Am I doing this right?

The convoy of trial attorneys will be longer than both Cajun navies.

I doubt this happens. I really want it not to.
I can't see temperatures in the middle to uppers 80s, as they are now in Houston, leading to catastrophic destruction in a 3 mile diameter, which is grossly exaggerated for safety concerns, understandable.

Organic peroxides and no refrigeration make for major fireworks

You got that right. Unprecedented rainfall and somehow they will make it the company's fault

Hurricane Harvey is unable to represent itself as a defendant.

Ok let's say however much time goes by, the power comes back on and it hasn't exploded.
Could they pay you enough to go back in there and be the one who has to crank everything back up?

That's a job for a robot.

Yes, that's not how it works
Posted on 8/30/17 at 11:14 pm to wallowinit
Great point. Who draws the short straw to go back in?

Go do death row and tell whomever is first on the list that he gets his sentence made into life with possibility of parole if he does it.
