the hyperactive coverage of this non-event is only heightened by the lack of news for the networks to cover, excluding other truly non-events such as nightclub fires. These kinds of fires are always a risk during the transfer of fuel and is why those areas of a refinery are always isolated from the major portion of the facilities through which the procedure is strictly monitored and fairly routine.

I am reminded of the tanker explosion years ago at an Amoco terminal in Michigan. An American Steamship ore carrier was sailing too fast near where the tanker was tied up to unload. The steamship's wake pulled the tanker away from its moorings, then slammed it back against the cement piles, causing a spark that ignited 50 thousand bbls of gasoline.

What would qualify as an actual "event" in your world??? Have you ever been diagnosed as schizophrenic, or is your apparent lack of attachment to the rest of the people you share the world with just a minor character flaw?
