You don't even want to know what it was like in this newsroom yesterday.
This evening at another plant in Donaldsonville, a tanker truck of nitrogen being loaded blew up killing one and injuring 5-8 others. I'm sooooo glad I'll be on vacation after tomorrow. Last edited by beadist; 06-14-2013 at 10:00pm. |

The plant I'm working at now has a bunch of guys who worked at Geismar at one point and/or knew people who were involved. Been a rough couple of days that's for sure.

That wouldn't be my first guess. Chemistry is complicated and dangerous. Requires a high degree of education and attention to detail. I've worked in chemical plants. Fires and explosions happen on practically a daily basis. If you're lucky they're small, contained, and not close to your immediate vicinity.

I was referring to the possibility of it being a terrorist act instead of an accident. Terrorist=cowards.

We have lots of Asians and Indians were I work. Maybe muslums? But I think their educations are more along religious lines as opposed to technical. Pretty sure if they were prone to sabotaging our industries it would have happened by now. There's nothing stopping them. |
