Can we post fake facts to see if they bite?

an intern or 1 of the website people monitors social media for stuff like this to happen since that's the day and age we live in now


but they have to confirm it 1st before it goes to air... unless they get a 1st person source saying "hey my house just shook from an explosion"

Just an expensive pyrotechnic display for True Detective season 2.


Refinery was a extra in season 1.

There were no injuries during an incident at Valero that caused a loud boom and was heard - and felt - as far away as Luling. Early reports have said that a pipe burst at the Diamond Green Diesel plant, which is a joint venture with Valero. Sheriff Greg Champagne said that there is no danger to the public and that "there is a diesel fire that will be allowed to burn off at a diesel producing unit."

If diesel is this explosive, why can you pump it at the gas station with your car running?

Has to suck to be in bunker gear in this heat, with a fire bearing down.

silly question. You can also pump gas with a car running with no problem. You just shouldn't

Well, I wasn't talking about the normal news, but the people like the "storm"-thingy people who put a tweet out. That said, it wouldn't surprise me in the normal media ran with the info here, either...
