If tweet fails to load, click here. Unfolding story here. Hopefully it's nothing nefarious and nothing too major.
ETA: Damn. Sounds like there may be casualties. Prayers for anyone affected.

MSCNN: "The oil that Trump stole from Venezuela is not compatible with this refinery"

I mean, this sort of thing happens from time to time. But with everything that's going on with the Strait of Hormuz, this one makes me perk up. Like I said, hopefully nothing nefarious or too major.

Crap. Hate to see that. Hope no lives were lost. But it happens every so often at these plants.
There’s usually an explanation that does involve nefarious activities.

What kind of stupid question is this? The price of gas is something that is discussed here every day, you dumb bitch.

I haven't seen any reports of casualties, thankfully, but not much information out yet. Apparently it just happened.

Even then, that's not political.
And to get there we have to ignore what your OP actually says (which says nothing about gas prices or politics)

The dickhead is in the house. How is anything you say relevant to anyone but you? Take a sabbatical or lobotomy, your choice and get back to us in a few years

Damn. Sounds like a strong blast. Hopefully casualties, if any, aren't many and everyone recovers. Sad news.

Is no one thinking drone/terrorists?

Saw a few tweets about a compressor going down.
But also a ton of posts about Trump and Iran

I've worked in refineries, chemical plants and power plants for the last 33 years.
In fact, I've worked at that plant numerous times.
Considering that these facilities run 24 hrs/day, 365 days a year... it's incredible that these accidents occur rarely.
That is a testament to the dedication to security and safety those running these facilities invest.
I highly doubt whatever happened at Valero had anything to do with terrorist.

Maybe an RPG via one of Biden's open Border invitees. Surprised they aren't all in yet what with their Jihadi Brethren going down.

I don't see anything suggesting that. If you have something suggesting that, by all means, share it. I'm just bringing the information. Sounds like a major blast. This will have further affect on gas prices.
