Good point about the refinery fires. There's a big refinery near Torrance CA. Now that you mention it, there have been several fires there, and I believe that there have been a few in Wilmington CA. This has happened off and on over the years, but now that you mention it, the incidents have gone up since 2001.

One investigator familiar with the case who spoke to WorldNetDaily on condition of anonymity suggested authorities may have known some sort of attack was coming, because witnesses reported tighter-than-usual security for the OU football game against Kansas State, which was under way at the time Hinrichs was killed.
For instance, the investigator said, witnesses reported that security guards were patting down and searching many of the more than 84,000 spectators who attended the game before allowing them inside the stadium not a normal occurrence.
The investigator went on to say witnesses told him no such "frisking or patting down" occurred when they attended the OU-Tulsa football game Sept. 10, the last home game before the Hinrichs incident, according to OU's football schedule.
"[Stadium personnel] were looking for whiskey flasks under ball caps and ice chests, but no frisking or patting down," said the investigator.
Also, according to a statement from the office of OU President David Boren, bomb squads searched the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
"Prior to the game, the entire stadium was swept by the expert bomb teams with the help of dogs," the statement said.
