I figured you might be in that line of work living out there in MB.  I hotshot so I’m in and out of those places almost every day as well.

I read that Benzene has a sweet, aromatic odor.  That's an improvement for that area!

Yep

 

[FartingMonk 3608]

Yeah.  That thing erupted just as I was going in.  The plant bought us steaks and a bunch of supplies. Just in case the wind shifts.  The EOC just called us and said almost no progress is being made.  Said expect the shit to ignite against n for the next few days.  The Flashpoint for most of those things is about 86 degrees so as soon as that foam gets lost its boom again.

Paxton apparently just filed an enforcement suit against the owner.

Laughable. Look at the AG’s enforcement record statewide. If you are asking “what record?”, you’re asking the right question.

Yep.  You know that

Maybe they'll get lucky and a sinkhole will open up and swallow the whole thing. Or it could be like the Springfield Tire Fire and survive even that.

[Pato del Muerto 52872]

Too bad it’s not ethyl acetate. That stuff smells sooooo nice.  And, bonus, it’s a bit less toxic than benzene.

Yeah except this particular dumb squirrel probably sticks the nut in his ass instead of his cheek.

I do not disagree.

DEER PARK, Texas - Multiple chemicals from ITC Deer Park leaked into the Houston Ship Channel after a dyke wall collapsed Friday, the Capt. Kevin Oditt with the U.S. Coast Guard said Saturday. The ship channel was closed as a result.

Man ITC has the worst PR people in the world.  The main lady just sounds like she s ready to cry.  The IC is a smug SOB

[Pato del Muerto 52872]

What’s his job when he isn’t being incidint commander?

I think I heard accounting

Not sure how it works there, but in my experience the IC was the shift superintendent if the plant manager or deputy plant manager were not on site. When the shift superintendent left the control room, the IC role fell to the control room supervisor.

That’s Jake from State Farm.

Following the Intercontinental Terminals Company (ITC) chemical fire in Deer Park, Texas, the company directed those affected to file a claim through a website they set up.

 

However, some have warned against it, claiming that doing so will waive your right to sue the company in the future.

We really need to reduce regulations and liability on industries. Think of the shareholders.

Agreed. How am I going to make money while sleeping? 

[Rip76 4986]

Just about to post.

One of my drivers was offloading there at about 9am.

Sorta close to home.

We need a fire forum.

Just have a spokesman say the air quality is reading normal levels (as of 5am) and we're rolling.

1 confirmed death. KMCO is primarily a toll manufacturer with a history of environmental and work place safety issues.

[Neonmoon 38130]

You set another terminal on fire?

I found out tonight that the guy that died is a friend of a coworker of mine.  She's pretty broken up over it.
