“You reported this AT 8:25 am. It’s now 9:08. NOTHING ON TV..”
Unless there was a young blond Hollywood starlet or singer with pathetic mixed-up troubled lives visiting the plant at the time it is not real news. At last thats the impression when watching Fox.
OK..good job Graycliff. Please take care..sw
Who is Tommy Kramer?
>But the odds are very heavily in favor of it being just like any other refinery explosion; i.e., not terrorism.<
Agreed.
Prayers up
It will effect fuel prices.
We are running at a deficit already, which explains why these overburdened refineries are starting to show severe fatigue.

I know they’re already here.
Just being pragmatic about this
Prayers for your friends and their families.
will be interesting to see if it was terrorist..AND even if it didn’t make a difference just a few days after the surveillance measure was not extended

Nothing on the networks. Fox news talking about dogs.
Hi gpapa(((Hugs)))
Now, Fox News thinks someone paying 150,000 to clone her dog is bigger than the Texas explosion...
I'm not near a tv so if they do pass along anything new I hope someone will comment.
Your so right PSYCHO-FREEP.
Explosion rocks West Texas refinery

BIG SPRING, Texas—An explosion rocked an oil refinery Monday morning, a Howard County sheriff’s dispatcher said.
It was unclear whether there were injuries or whether a fire was burning at the refinery owned by Dallas-based Alon USA, which employs about 170 people and produces about 70,000 barrels a day.
“All I know is that it blew up,” said the dispatcher, who declined to give her name.
John Moseley, managing editor of the Big Spring Herald, heard the blast and said, “I thought it would knock the walls down.”
Blake Lewis, a spokesman for Alon USA, said the company had an unconfirmed report of an incident but did not know any details. He said a plant manager was on the way to the plant.
Big Spring is about 280 miles west of Dallas.
CNN just reported it
