Must we have that type of comment on a thread like this? There are people critically injured .... and burns are the most horrific injuries one can receive ...... and I find juvenile bathroom humor very inappropriate.

Please feel free to be offended. I won't be wasting any of my time in worry of it. Zoloft might be a good move for you.

Three of the eight people injured were in critical condition at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City (search)

That is terrible, let's hope they fully recover.

Hexane solvent is used to extract oil from soybeans. This material is heavier than air and quite volatile...

I guess they never heard of "Beanno." Works like a charm to prevent gas explosions.

Yes, Sergents Bluff is along the Missouri River, near the Omaha Council Bluffs area.
