  1. Hope nobody got hurt prayers to the families of those who didn’t make it out my condolences,and speedy recovery to anyone that made it out,and is hurt.

    1. Bad Cattitude they have highly trained security personnel at all points of entry/exit to the facility. It is safer inside these facilities than in the outside world, to be honest.

    1. Canyon Racer well there is that, but also some of these things are running at very high pressures, 24 hours a day, for us to live the life we have here. Of course, these things need maintenance, hence shutdowns, “turnarounds”, and re-starts, which has a small degree of risk.

    2. patrick mathew these facilities do follow strict regulations from the local, state, and federal government, including OSHA and Homeland Security.

  2. So that means gas forgetting to cheap so the refiners had to blow something up so they can get the price of gas back up there. Change to be every time gas gets below $2 a Refinery blows up imagine that, do I hear crooked people in the old business protecting their interests.

  3. It’s a plan to raise gas prices and line pockets of corrupt officials. We the people need to wake up and take back control

    1. V S that actually makes sense considering the state of California was being federally investigated for price gouging on gas prices 🙈

    2. @Bad Cattitude more like oil industry not following saftey regulations thats against the law and I hope they get fined big for it.

  4. Sabatoge campaign being waged upon the us oil refinery’s but they wont tell you that cuz they dont want you to panic

  5. And just when prices were slowly going back down this happens and now who would’ve guessed the prices are skyrocketing again…

  6. Burns a couple thousand gallons to double gas prices. Thank goodness for my electric car powered by burning coal.
