caught my attention right away, I hadn't been paying close attention to the frequency of these events. I have dealt with those refineries and others in that state in the way back past and a fire in a refinery was a big deal with regard to safety and all. This smells like the Enron model at work... some of the players are the same people. hey, a fire was the ticket for jacking up the prices, so let's burn some oil... who's gonna know? there's so much employee "security" as in you sign your life away as far as "trade secrets" for a job, even if you're just a truck driver... So I am pretty sure that all they did was torch off a few thousand gallons of the cheapest stuff and called it a major devastation. they probably got disaster relief from the feds too, the POSs. And then, very few refineries get the "upgrade" treatment. Shit, back in the mid 80s the refineries I was familiar with looked like they were unchanged since the 1950s or earlier for some of them. Some in LA were so scary-old that they made you feel like a time traveler.
I hope they ream those assholes.
