BP and Texas City.....
A refinery explosion or fire on the Houston Ship channel happens so often it isn’t always report on the evening news.
Granted the BP event was devastating. But BP didn’t need terrorist help to do that one. They cut their corners all on their own.
That was right before my wife and I moved to Houston. She was an environmental investigator for Galveston County, so had a front row seat to the BP plant explosion in ‘06. I think it was ‘06, maybe ‘07. I didn’t think much of it in terms of the bigger picture so details escape me. She knew someone whose husband died in that one.
But yeah, the ‘05 incident was a big mess. The repercussions of it were still a problem during our stay there. Who knows, maybe it was related to what’s going on now? Stranger things have happened.
