Rubber is an essential wartime resource.
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.....
 Quoting: Steamer


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.

If we went to war with anyone, we need rubber. All old tires would go into recycling, synthetic rubber produced and new plants built.

During WW2 Im pretty sure the rubber came from Asia, which was fubar.

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.

Just to take it down a notch, people within a 4 mile radius have been told to evacuate. 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.

Re: HOLY SHIT!!! ANOTHER Texas EXPLOSION!!!
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.

 Quoting: Moon&Stars


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.

No way that the fake news edits their videos for maximum shock and awe? 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.
