glad he is ok, we all have family members in these facilities so any time there is a explosion or event all of our hearts drop



thanks, he said he was at an assembly point. trying to get info from the crews we have out there now but it's all "an operator told me" type stuff right now.

"an operator told me it was a wastewater tank rupture" yeah well maybe thinking it was a wastewater tank is what caused it

How many times has that plant had a major explosion?

I lived in LC back in 2002 and my next door neighbor was a widow made millionaire when an explosion there killed her husband

Hmmm I'm not sure. With the industry in the area, it's common throughout.
