The tower went 700 feet in the air minimum, according to the free fall calculator.

14 seconds between launch and land.

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

 Quoting: Strate8


Local news Houston, with reporters on the scene in Port Neches. Right now the plume is being carried towards the coast, with wind direction swinging it for a short time west and around to a northward direction tomorrow - local weather and wind forecast. FYI, I grew up near the coast about 30 miles southwest of there, and now live in Houston.

I've known people who work those plants all of my life, including my step dad, and many of our neighbors.

Somebody trying to drive up the price of oil?
 Quoting: Blue State Rebel


No. Just the aging of some of the infrastructure of the plant as far as they can tell right now. The chemical industry can be dangerous. That's just how it is.
 Quoting: Moon&Stars


That's not just how it is and this is why regulations are required and enforcement is required.

I worked in Oil & Gas 5 years, 80% of my function for the OEM I worked for was helping our clients maintain certification of their equipment. It is cost of doing business and shit companies shortcut that cost.

All pressure containing equipment had to be certified every 5 years. Guess what? Employees of those companies where supportive of this because they didn't want to get killed because of crap equipment.

Re: HOLY SHIT!!! ANOTHER Texas EXPLOSION!!!
The electrical transmission tower in the foreground is a known 180 feet tall. Half of the tower that exploded was launched skyward. What is left is over half the height of the electrical transmission tower. The tower that blew was therefore between 250 and 300 feet tall, considering it was farther away from the camera, making it appear smaller.

It's good that there's a cold front pushing the traditional southeasterly winds down. Good in general that this happened in fall since we get northwesterly minds much more during this time.

For those who don't know, we had a cold front blow through this afternoon. As soon as it's through the area, the winds will switch back around to coming in from the Gulf.

Could be. I saw a report from CH. 12 out of Beaumont interviewing residents who lived right across from the plant whose front windows were blown out.

But yes, there were probably early signs of trouble. There are shacks/offices onsite where everything is monitored. News crews would have been alerted if there was a hint of anything happening.

An acquaintance said the first explosion broke windows and blew front door open. Not sure how far they reside from the plant. This would ruin a good slumber.

True, so very true.

Maintenance budgets are always the 1st to get cut.

I worked for a German company for 7 years and they were very big on maintenance. If a machine went down unexpectedly, that was a huge deal. Periodic maintenance, inventory of spares was very important. You want to see the real quality of an operation, go to their maintenance shop first.

It may have been your acquaintance in the interview. Their front door had been blown open, and their front windows broken. The windows looked like the hurricane storm type - the entire frames were blown into their living room.
