Meh. Sounds like an accident without a legit plan for how to deal with it.

I'm surprised there hasn't already been a class action filed.

Khou facebook is saying the tanks on fire have, gas blend, xyleme, naptha, base oil, or pygas

Of the 5 in the column that were not burning last night, but is starting to burn today, 2 are base oil, 2 are pygas, and 1 is toluene

On the facebooks, there seems to be a higher level of concern about the toulene tank, than the rest of the chemicals.

Shouldn’t... tanks aren’t under pressure and they are shooting foam like crazy to suppress vapors...

But who knows

This was the latest map update


Wind died down and shifted direction so the plume is hanging a lot closer to the ground than earlier in the day. Lot of positive chatter about the specialist firefighters they finally called in today.

They got lucky the fire hasnt spread down to the group below. Ethylene dichloride is some nasty shite to have burning.

Let's hope they can contain it to those 15 tanks and not spread to the Ethylene dichloride tank.

Reports the suppression foam is leaking/draining into the ship channel. Not sure what it’s made from but probably not ideal

You could see it on the live feeds from the other side of Buffalo Bayou. They had it roped to their ship dock but I'm guessing that failed (just like every other time those damn things are deployed)

And you'd truly be amazed at the amount of people that are using this as an opportunity for selfies

They foamed one of their ship/barge slips intentionally earlier this afternoon either anticipating product making into the water/did make it into the water.
