I heard about it 10 min. before this thread was posted from a person's set on a photo site (fancy that.. photo sites can be more resourceful than the news!) here is a link to his take on it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/algo/

Wow, that photo makes it look like a volcano erupted.
I just read it not 5 minutes ago when I signed on. Then I come here and see it.

That's a huge one. We've had a series of explosions down in Texas City, but nothing like that... Though, they really need to get their plant up to a decent level of safety...

Just heard about it...rather important depo...very horrible...what caused it?

Seems like all the attention has been drawn away from the cause onto the possibility of a toxic cloud!

There is a similar place near me in Stoke-on-Trent (Carless) who provide Repsol race fuel amongst other fuels and they say if that ever went up it'd take out most of S-o-T! I can believe it now!
