I second that.

You will know more than most of us, Paul, the dangers in any chemical factory. It's coming up to the 30 year anniversary of the Flixborough disaster, in June - 28 people died in that explosion.

We were lucky near here, 3 years ago, when an large explosion & fire occurred at an oil refinery. I say lucky, 'cos it happened on a weekend, so there was just a skeleton crew on site & only two people were injured.

This one, though, was during the week, in the daytime & all the office staff were in, etc. The pictures & eye-witness accounts tell an horrific story & I hope they get anyone still trapped out soon, thank goodness we have such good Emergency Services.
