18-wheeler explodes at San Antonio refinery
SAN ANTONIO — An 18-wheeler being loaded with fuel at a San Antonio refinery has exploded.
Television stations showed footage Wednesday of an enormous black plume spewing from the AGE Refining Inc. unit on the city’s southeast side.
Refinery marketing director Jeff Morrow says the truck exploded late Wednesday morning at the facility that refines gas and jet fuel, but he had no other details.
San Antonio Fire Chief Charles Hood told KENS-TV that the fire had spread to the refining facility, and authorities were trying to assess whether neighbors should be evacuated.
yah... just heard that. Exploded as it was being put on some sort of rack to be loaded. That seems to indicate that the tanker was empty...? Curious.
