2 plant explosions down here

[Smitty357]

2 plant explosions in 24hrs down here in the South. Each plant explosion has indeed taken lives and left numerous injured. I just find it weird that this has happened within a 24hr period. Praying for the families and friends as many of our locals worked in both places.

My wife's niece is an on site nurse at the CF plant the site of this evening's explosion. She was called back to the plant this evening to assist with the injured.
It is very strange, two of these explosions occuring so close together. It makes me wonder if something more sinister is going on??
I hope not.

The way companies have been cutting staff to keep shareholders happy and to stay afloat during the economic downturn, I'm surprised that there has not been a lot MORE of this kind of thing. Processes involving tricky chemicals combined with reduced and often tired staff are no a good mix.

Life on the Chem plant row----try living--well working---on the Houston Ship Channel.
Dangerous is not just a phrase---it is a way of life.

When I read of the second one this morning, I told my wife that there was no way that could be an accident. In hindsight, I hope it is.
