That is one small processing unit in a polypropylene ("plastics raw material", for journalism and education majors) in a PLASTICS plant, not a "REFINERY"! Nothing was "engulfed" -- aside from that one minor vertical tower...
Right.
This small fire was not on the refinery side of this plant.

Human nature is human nature, and corporations have no soul.
It's not a question if they would, it's a question if they can.

Well, someone here said it was a plastics plant, so maybe that won’t affect gas prices.
