re: TPC Plant in Port Neches Explosion: Port Neches, Groves, and parts of Nederland Evacuated

Anyone that’s been even close to a petrochem plant, much less worked inside of one, knows that is scorched earth.

Thank god there were no fatalities.

This is a very serious event. Hopefully it is contained soon.

And to the folks assigning blame to loosened regulation & trying to make this political... here’s a huge frick YOU.

You can see in the pic the tower in the center is damaged and listing, as well as the scorching of the paint on the spheres closest. If one of those pops off it gonna start a huge chain reaction, with major damage to a larger area.

For those unfamiliar with the petrochemical industry. When chemicals get put into spheres, it's bad shite, and under pressure for a reason. This could get pretty ugly if the wind shifts.
