I work at Exxon on a different site than they work at. There are different sites in the plant.

I have a lot of family and friends that work at the refinery...can't get in touch with anyone right now. I'm sure it's a shite show out there.

Thats extremely sad to hear and pray they will be alright. We were at the plastics plant earlier today. Makes you think about how much we take safety for granted sometimes...

Dam, as they say, shite happens, BULL shite. Prays sent and pray that all are good. Explosions are never good even when they call them puffs. And yes, I been in one that was called a puff. I still mark the scares to this date.
