Pretty tall tower to the left of the fire so very well could be an alky unit.

I was at Marathon outside the plant in my office when it happened. There was a huge boom followed by the building shuttering. Went out and said, it’s on the opposite side of the plant from our site, I’m out. Got out before they blocked the roads off. It was pretty bad up close. Our field office trailer is pretty close to it.
