The only thing I can see on their website that would require ethylene gas is thermal spray coating, but I would think the kind of volume that would be required for an explosion of that magnitude would be like high pressure PE plant levels. I'm thinking there was something else at play here, like a combo ethylene/dust explosion or something.

It is conceivable that, due to the number of claimants, Watson filed Chapter 11 not so much to screw claimants as just an orderly way of dealing with the claims.
That probably means some folks get screwed.

It’s conceivable that I will be elected President and Milana Vayntrub will be my First Lady

Well it sure is a good thing that we've completely neutered the CSB and other regulatory/reporting requirements for industrial worksites. Otherwise someone might just get in the way of generating private profits at a public expense.
