I don’t believe that any of these chemical or fossil fuel accidents are accidents any more, not the pipeline leaks or explosions, not the train derailments or explosions and not the chemical plant explosions. Itis the same with the wild fires. They aren’t accidents.

I don’t believe in coincidence.
None of this crap is an accident.
As long as we have this spineless
attorney general who is working
for their side anyway it’s not gonna stop till another Republican President gets elected.
gets elected. That is if the next election doesn’t get stolen.

We lived up north in Conroe in the 90’s when one of the refineries blew. It was 50 miles away and it was a close to having an earthquake in Texas as you could get.

Isn’t avoiding just that why they claimed to burn the derailed vinyl chloride tank cars in E. Palestine, OH?

I believe explosions in Pasadena, TX have happened before.
Friend of a friend, a supposed foreign affairs expert, says that is our most vulnerable point for explosions and beginnings of invasions.

Or maybe someone just dropped a match.

Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion.

So the "bleve explosion" mentioned in the headline was actually a "Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion explosion."

Seems like overkill.

There was a chemical plant fire in Houston just a couple of months after little Lena Hidalgo (Dora the Explorer) was installed in office. Her first press conference was horrific.

After her stating that the air monitors surrounding the site were showing no signs of harmful vapors and there was no need for alarm, it was pointed out to her that all of the monitors were destroyed in the blast. Ooops.

Ooops. LOL

Yep many people have no idea of all the potential for some
kind of major event in the petro-chemical complexes in the
area surrounding Houston.

Deer Park, Pasadena and the whole ship channel area is one big processing facility. Refineries, chem plants and fertilizer plants. Plus there is a lot of ship and truck traffic.
They are very strict on safety in those plants. But sometimes accidents happen.
