Two fires at two refineries?

What a coinky-dink.

Has terrorism been unequivocally ruled out yet?

I doubt that, security is pretty tight not only by security personnel but by the workers themselves.

There are just so many things that can go wrong for a fire to start. Some of that oil is running through pipes around 800-900 degrees so a flange leak from a failed gasket can cause an instantaneous fire when it hits oxygen.

Hey, if she can claim a conspiracy in EmailGate why can't someone postulate one with her at the center of the recent rash of ExxonMobile fires?

Circa 1970 the hydrogen cracker at Exxon linden nj. It is a critical gas. The question of sabotage was never resolved to the best of my knowledge. The gov put extra security on the last site in Houston. The blast rattled windows 40 miles away.

Either terrorism or just poor maintenance or operation. Remember that thousands of oil workers (white collar and blue collar) have been laid off since March of this year.
