You’re right. Oil rigs and 18-wheelers explode all the time within less than a week of each other. /s
Not only is it sonar proof it can do amphibious assaults? Damn I mean I knew Koreans could build good cars but wow.
Who knows? But sea turtles are dying...that’s newsworthy
I stand by my statement...
Goes to show that oil refining is dangerous. Obama will have to shut down all the refineries now....
Considering that there have only been about a dozen or so oil refinery accidents in the past 25 years, I’d say 4-5 in a month is something to look at.
Nope! It was a maltreated midget with a feather in his cap riding a stolen pony!
Good post, thanks.
Unless you're Algore........
FP is Non sequitor (and, I think your meaning “auto-ignition temp” which is much higher)
LEL and vapor build-up is more approrpriate.
[It’s already close to $4 in some areas.]
A check of the USA National Gas shows differently. The highest I can find is just over $3.25. That is hardly $4.00.

- NG explosion in NJ
- Deepwater Horizon sunk (I still maintain it was sabotaged or attacked)
- Times Square fizzle car bomb
- San Antonio truck explosion at refinery
Things that make you go, "Hmmm..."
No, it was Colonel Mustard in the library with a candlestick!............
Actually, yes they do.
Not 18 wheelers per se, but last year alone their were 46 seperate Refinery fires an explosions -- an average of FOUR A MONTH.
Oil well blowouts happen on a fairly regular basis also, they just don't usually explode because the fail safes work.
Ever been inside a empty storage tank on a warm day?
85F outside can get over 110F inside after a few hours of direct sunlight.
I would reckon it was a static electric spark, possibly from prior heavy rain that compressed the roof, and/or the tractor trailer tanker was ungrounded when the transfer connector was inserted.
False flag #6.

Then you have the attempts at NYC, Philadelphia, and the exploding bag just this week...
Move along, folks- Nothing to see here...
There are many many more refinery fires than make the news. THe US gov and US refinery safety industry, and also the Taiwanese refinery safety industry provide (English language) online databases of all the fires.
Actually, there were 46 seperate fire or explosion incidents at US refineries in 2009 -- that is an average of 4 a month.
They have, indeed. It's just that we have better reporting, and all the conspiriwackos on FR (and elsewhere) have their antennas up and receivers tuned for maximim gain.
That photo shows a small fire at a small, isolated plant. Any terrorist would hit one of the monster plants -- crammed close together -- along the Houston Ship Channel or at Texas City.
