[P-40]

You are correct about that, but it would take a great number of small attacks over a fairly long period of time


But looking over the photos of the Texas City disaster does not give me a good feeling. I look at the industrial accidents we have here and realize how easy it would be to "recreate" the accident.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

The Texas City disaster was the result of a '20's cargo ship that had no safety standards from a crew level on down to equipment.

The chemical plant that caused the chain reaction was also poorly designed and had very little safety measures in place.

By all the modern standards and precautionary procedures that have become mandatory, Texas City would not have happened in this day and age.

Comparing the cargo ships of today to the ones from that era, are like comparing lazers to candles.
