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.


very true , ppl just do not realise how dangerous these places can be , a bit of background for ppl who dont know , i was very close to losing my leg last year due to an accident where i work , thankfully i didnt , but i am still living with the effects of it , i just hope whoever was killed died quickly so they didnt suffer as much as i am and will continue to do
