To: Cincinatus' Wife
The judge spoke truly...
"Those of us that have been here all our lives, we don't become used to them, but we have seen these type of things," Sylvia said. "We don't like them and wish they'd never happen again, but that's part of having industry in your back yard."About two dozen of us came close to getting blown to smithereens in the early 90's. (flash fire at the first flange on a small vessel's hydrogen line that still had pressure behind the blind) One man's quick reaction saved us all that day. You have to come to grips with the understanding that you could die each and every day.
My condolences to the family and my sympathies to his coworkers. I would hate to be the man who had sent him out into the unit.

I would hate to be the man who had sent him out into the unit.I was thinking that too. And to your comment about not knowing when we will die, that came to my mind too. It's a good reminder to not put things off or cause hurt feelings to go unmended.
