I mean you're taking pulls from a bottle on a golf course, who gives a frick. Find a bottle in the 25-35 dollar range. This is one of the strangest questions I've ever seen asked on this board....

[quote]I imagine the ITC, LLC will file bankruptcy shortly.[/quote] They are owned by Mistui, no bankruptcy, but Mistui may decide that facility isn't worth the trouble when the final bill is paid....

Smells like shite over here in Pasadena-more than usual. The post-mortem on this will not be good for ITC (obviously), talking to the guys that were helping fight it...lots of questionable decisions made by their IC....

What was the last pit you worked on?...

You can smell it in the air. We’re testing all our operators...ERT guys who responded to the CIMA call and our guys back in the plant daily for exposure....

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....

That’s was a foregone conclusion whenever they couldn’t extinguish the initial tank fire. ...

80-4 and 80-7 reported to be on fire now....

No idea....

[quote] looks like ITC has other companies on all sides of them?[/quote] Akzonobel, Total, Oxy, Vopak to name a few. [quote]Where are their docks located? [/quote] Ship Channel [quote]lso saw a story that said they are using fire boats... where are those at? [/quote] Ship Channel...

Immediate threat is to other parts of their own facility...they have a neighbor, Vopak, who I'm sure would appreciate it if they managed to keep it contained to this battery alone....

If the fire breaches a dike wall then it could affect surrounding pipe racks or additional tank batteries. They have some sphere tanks nearby....

The foam is to arrest vapors...basically to stop a fire from starting at their docks. Either something has, or they are anticipating the potential for runoff into the water....

Also if you are watching the live feeds, they are currently foaming the slips to their ship/barge docks....which means there is potentially product in the channel......

It's channel water....the foam totes though...that shite ain't cheap....

This just in...according to CBS News...the TCEQ and EPA are on ITC's payroll. The mother fricker that asked for an apology from ITC should be asked to bunker up and get out there. This is a clownshow for sure, but ITC didn't want an entire tank battery to catch fire on a quaint Sunday morning......

Press conference stating soon...
