Bingo. Another claim of access to information not available to the rest of us--to go along with prior claims of attending sensitive briefings on what US personnel were doing with the contras in Nicaragua, and battle update briefings with a command that had troops engaged in Afghanistan? And you wonder why more and more folks don't believe you? snip The explosion was 15 tons equivalent of the BLEVE [1] type, the fire lasted days becuase about 10% of the plant inventory had to be allowed to burn out [2]. There was minimal effect past the fence. Gee, with all that access to information, you did not realize the true extent of offsite damage and injury, as we can see from Keith's response below...amazing, huh? Wrong. Even though the explosion occurred on a rural site 53 members of the public received major injuries and hundreds more sustained minor injuries. The plant was destroyed as were several others on the same site and close to two thousand houses, shops, and factories were damaged with some 3000 residents being left homeless snip Brooks |
