Maybe I simply don't live within the BLAST RADIUS of the explosion.

Of course, no one can blame a dim bulb like GBA for making such an idiotic mistake.

Explosions at flood-hit Arkema plant in Texas, threat of further blasts remains


The company said it was notified at approximately 2 a.m., by the Harris County Emergency Operations Center of two blasts and black smoke.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said on its Twitter feed the deputy had been taken to the hospital and nine others drove themselves to the hospital as a precaution.

lol

Harris County officials said the incidents at the plant were the result of containers under pressure popping, which started small fires, CNBC has learned. Officials were not characterizing the incidents as explosions.

A 1.5-mile radius around the plant had been evacuated and the company urged people to stay away from the area, warning further blasts were likely.

WHOOPSIE!!

My family lives OVER FIFTY MILES from the plant location.

No need for me and mine to worry about being hit by any blast debris.

And people might not have had to be evacuated if there had been some PROPER REGULATION in place to monitor the company.

Unfortunately dollars matter more than human lives to greedy Trumpkins.

That wasn't a chemical plant blast, it was just Zippy rippin' a massive fart. LOL

Due to Texas laws preventing people from being forced from their homes, the 1.5 mile radius around the plant considered to be at risk of explosion has not been evacuated, though Dempsey said most people have left their homes in preparation for the impending explosion.

We are not taking about California here PackD. This is about Texas. And they have showed this entire country they do not need anything from anyone. They help themselves, they help their neighbors, they help complete strangers, they do not sit whining about someone coming to rescue them and hold their hand. They just take care of business. You should learn something from that asshole.

 

[NOVA]

So our beloved President and the owners of Arkema have foresaken the safety of the people of Texas just so they can line their already fat wallets with even more money.

massive ‘shock wave’ chemical plant explosions ?

deregulation?

wtf are you babbling about ????

There were no massive explosions or shock waves, and regulations had nothing to do
this storm of with the floods.....or that chemical plant being flooded....

So you're part of the camp that since Republicans say that they want limited FedCo, that they shouldn't take advantage of disaster assistance? Do I have that right?

Explosions reported at a Houston-area chemical plant: what we know

Early Thursday morning, a series of explosions were reported at a chemical facility in Crosby, Texas, about 25 miles northeast of Houston. Flooding rains from Tropical Storm Harvey cut off power to the facility on Sunday, knocking out critical refrigeration systems at the location. The plant manufactures organic peroxides, chemical compounds used in manufacturing construction materials, which can ignite when not stored at a low temperature.

Plant crews worked on restoring the power and containing the chemicals, but on Wednesday, the site, as well as a 1.5-mile radius around it, was evacuated in fear of an imminent explosion.

.

sounds like it was monitored quite well.....they knew precisely when there was a danger and made the public aware.......

Texas reporter says state is lying about likelihood of massive ‘shock wave’ chemical plant explosion


In an interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, a Houston reporter who did an in-depth investigation into potential safety hazards at chemical plants in the Houston area said officials have been unclear about the type of explosion that will occur at the Arkema chemical manufacturing plant outside of the city.

The ticking time bomb of a plant is reportedly flooded by six feet of water in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, making some of the more sensitive chemicals it houses into a threat for explosion.

“[The Harris County fire marshall] said that they don’t expect like a shock wave kind of explosion,” Matt Dempsey, a data reporter for the Houston Chronicle, told Maddow. “That’s in contradiction to the expert said who said we’re sitting on a powder keg type of situation here.”

“Experts on one side are saying it’s a huge thing, and I have the government officials and the company saying it might not be that big,” Dempsey continued. “It’s hard to tell for sure.”

Dempsey went on to detail a back-and-forth he’d had with Arkema’s CEO, who refused to make the plant’s inventory public and who hasn’t answered questions about whether the plant has industry standard fail-safes that deplete the stock in case of disasters like Hurricane Harvey.

“It would have been standard operating procedure for a facility like this to have some sort of compound to quelch the organic peroxide, essentially to make sure the explosion risk, the fire risk was not there,” Dempsey said. “It would eliminate that stock so they wouldn’t have it for product going forward.”

Dempsey said he’s unsure if Arkema followed that procedure.

“I don’t know why they didn’t do that, I haven’t gotten a good answer from Arkema about that at this point,” he continued. “Maybe they weren’t following procedure according to the experts. But I find it troubling that they said they planned for a worst case scenario. and the storm just ripped right through that.”

Due to Texas laws preventing people from being forced from their homes, the 1.5 mile radius around the plant considered to be at risk of explosion has not been evacuated, though Dempsey said most people have left their homes in preparation for the impending explosion.

There's a certain amount of BS in the reporters article. I have a pretty good understanding of both Federal EPA and TCEQ State requirements.

Now TCEQ is hardly the libertarian do nothing ideal as is being reported.

First Chemical facilities in Texas must release annual Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) under the Federal Emergency Planning and Community Right To Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA also has as annual Tier II chemical reporting requirements for industries that use or store specific categories of hazardous materials. Tier II reporting is normally done via State agencies (TCEQ in Texas). In this case Texas has more stringent Tier II reporting requirements than the US EPA Federal requirements.

In addition to these facts EPCRA requires not only annual reporting of chemical inventories but under SARA Title III of the Act it requires that all facilities with chemical inventories maintain a Safety Data Sheet which details the hazardous properties of chemicals and chemical products. Those must be maintained for all chemicals used or in inventory and employees trained in their use.

The you should understand that under EPCRA any facility with a chemical inventories above threshold reporting quantities is required to report those chemicals to local Emergency Response organizations and first responders (normally fire department and local governments) and they are required to have a written emergency response plans with specific requirements that is to be shared and coordinated with local emergency response organizations.

Now anyone who manages a facility a facility in Texas can tell you that if your facility is audited by either EPA or TCEQ the first things their going to want to see are your waste management records, personnel training records and your emergency planning records and God help you if your records are not in in compliance.

Now a couple of other points, now Texas has a well earned reputation for deregulation that, at times like this, bite them in the ass. Those are normally associated with permitting. Having said that I have worked with all States that have Environmental agencies and this may come as a shock to some of my left leaning friends but only California, in my experience, is more strict and difficult to comply with from an environmental compliance standpoint than Texas.

Another point in regards to the ad hom attack on the company CEO. I would have done the same thing he did. During an emergency situation if you don't know what all the facts are when it comes to the media keep your mouth shut. you'll inevitably do more harm than good. The question was a bogus question anyway as the companies inventories of hazardous materials are already public knowledge and have been communicated to local emergency responders and if they have not that CEO is heading to prison. Not to mention that it's highly unlikely that he or anyone working at that plant has memorized their entire chemical inventories. So he did the right thing in not answering the reporters question.

Irony when the real Social Darwinists on the left make laughably stupid claims as they continue to bitch and stomp their little feet in the moronic belief this will change the outcome of an election.

I am amused by the lying leftist point of view that in order to care, one must promote the continued massive unconstitutional growth of the Federal Government and turn ALL citizens into wards of the Marxist State.
