San Antonio refinery on fire following explosion
WFAA and KENS 5 ^

Posted on 05/05/2010 10:30:55 AM PDT by Eyes Unclouded

An oil refinery just southeast of downtown San Antonio is on fire.

The fire started at the AGE Refinery on South Presa, following an explosion. Large black plumes of smoke can be seen spilling into the skies above San Antonio.

The plant is located near Mission San Juan on Military Dr. and Presa.

AGE Refining, Inc., is based out of San Antonio. They refine several specialized petroleum products, including jet fuel and diesel. The company was founded in 1991.

There is at least one burn victim, according to initial reports.

Our sister station, KENS 5, has a crew on the way.

I’m really starting to see a pattern here. Eco terror or Muslim terror?

If you have a fireplace or woodstove, stock up on firewood now for next winter.

They are going to use this to drive up prices.

Most of America will be horrified by this endless set of "coincidences". But not all.
