Quoting: Steamer Its not as obvious as say oil or iron or copper as being needed to supply an army- but dare I say that without it everything from tires to industrial controls diaphragms to gasmasks depend on it. Hmmm..... The feedstock butadiene is very volatile and reactive, and difficult to handle. This was not sabotage. If someone wanted to take out rubber production, there are better opportunities on the Texas Gulf Coast. This is just an unfortunate accident that is hard to mitigate at the present time. Yep. These kinds of plant explosions happen in this part of the country. Not everyday, but often enough. I remember when the Goodyear plant off of I-10 went up when I was a kid. Shit happens. Moonstar |

Yeah except... [link to www.texasmonthly.com (secure)] [link to www.propublica.org (secure)] Cancer Alley. Something close to 500X more likely to get cancer there. I worked in Oil & Gas 5 years. There does need to be regulations, companies do need to be forced to comply with regulations that protect the communities surrounding it. That's not some politics crap, that's people dying when it needn't have happened. trolls vs bots - we live in a scifi world |

There's no way what happened in this particular video could be done any way other than the intentional routing and mixing of materials that explode on contact. This is a Stuxnet attack, CASE CLOSED.

They are not 'fleeing'. Only 3 people have been injured, no fatalities. The plume is 2 thousand feet up. The wind direction change expected will pull the plume towards the north which is less populated. Rain is expected which will dissipate some of the plume. Moonstar |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 54300285 United States 11/27/2019 07:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Meh. It's the same plant. Not really news. If it were a different plant then maybe it would lend some credibility to the conspiracy that something is up. And no, I am not downplaying the explosions at this plant. My point is, I am not really all that surprised that they had another explosion at the same plant so close to the first explosion. They were clearly having issues that led to the first explosion so they probably just haven't gotten that issue under control. I hope that nobody was hurt or killed in either explosion. |

Where do you get info on wind direction pulling it to north? It is expected to go west towards Houston starting tomorrow. FYI, Houston is way more populated than the wind blowing it Southwest into the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Black Friday with all the shoppers out, wind blowing due west straight into Houston from Neches.

It just does not appear to be a significantly tall tower, compared to LPG towers, and a taller tower would have had much more mass and trays, so it would not have launched that high IMO. Granted, we have no logistic data for perspective, so I can't be sure either. Make America Strong Again Make America Sexy Again I'm fukken this monkey, you just shut up and hold the tail." |
