Death, taxes, refinery fires in Baytown.

4 non life threatening injuries.  Pretty big explosion. Definitely loss of containment.

The cell phone footage of the explosions in 2nd post is pretty awesome

I thought that video was from that explosion in China from a few years back

The one in China was in daylight.

There was one at night time just a few years back.  Looked exactly, and I mean exactly like that…audio and all.

Ok, I thought you were talking about the one that happened on the ship while it was docked in port.

Well fuck me I guess I had too much spiked egg nog and weed last night. 

Merry Christmas

I think that video is from a different refinery explosion and not the recent Baytown to do. There are no high rises within 15 miles of Baytown.

Yeah, I was trying to remember the last time I drove through there. I don’t remember it as a bustling metropolis of high rise luxury condominiums.

This shit always seems to happen around the holidays. Bad things happen with just skeleton crews on deck.

Hope everyone is ok. 2nd post isnt the refinery

That video is from the 2015 Tianjian port explosions where they were illegally storing large amounts of ammonium nitrate underground and firefighter water to fight a surface fire ignited the chemical reaction.

Ahhhh.  I was correct.  Glad I wasn’t having the weirdest case of deja vu I’ve ever encountered.

Between covid and the freeze.  You're gonna see shit like this happen a lot more often.  Nothing but yes men in the industry now.
