I’m starting to see some real parallels with the BP TX City refinery explosion that killed 15 contractors

I just watched a film on that incident. Basically, because of cost cutting and lax maintenance, that refinery was an accident waiting to happen. BP made a big hullabaloo about a new commitment to saftey and following procedure. Apparently it was a sham.

Safety procedures cost money and time. That is why they are often ignored. Happens at my plant more often than I like, and we are pretty strict about that stuff.

The oil boys though play by a different set of rules.
