Shorenuff big fireball in one of those videos

Sabotage (probable) vs. New workers - if you understood the influx here you would "get it" - and they are getting the jobs.

They say nothing hazardous is in the air, but if you live nearby stay indoors and shut off your AC.

Oh I get it, and live about 25 miles from Dow's HQ.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to say about it, which alphabet soup was behind it...

99% chance sabotage (esp. w/six explosions), 1% chance ESL workers fresh from Pedopeters open border.

I do think about the latter. I had recently had multiple poor customer service encoutners in which the individual couldn't assist, but instead of forwarding to supervisor they would intentionally hang-up or disconnect.

What is in the works in Washington .
Pedo Joe indictment.
Hunter indictment.
Ukraine puppet talking shit about America from his Billion dollar mansion .
Whatcha thankin ?

 

[AngryKoala]

Damn, that's where they make ethylene oxide. That's going to hurt a few businesses.

That was my 1st thought, but which alpha did the sabotage?

 

[Jgunner]

Diversity hires? Sabotage? Climate change?

Why is it that I live in Louisiana and the first time I ever hear news about Louisiana is on Snipershide or a facebook page dedicated to Caney Creek Lake.

 

[acudaowner]

ah no problem it's in no way all the terrorist being alowed into the country via the southern boarder . and if it was our government would tell us and keep us as citizens safe ( like hell they would ) . yea it was only swamp gas , yes swamp gas being released

The bear pit is the best aggregate news site around Lol

Then they can roast to death inside, because outside, it's 95°F and 50% humidity.

Chinese fighters pouring over the southern border. I'm surprised we've seen as little destruction this far actually

 

[Devildog]

EV’s don’t need anti freeze. Think about that angle as well.

They just need lithium which China now controls about 85% of.

No. Just 40,000 child slave laborers in the Congo.

Yet another totally coincidental explosion at a commercial facility...

Yes they do….. the batteries, motors and a/c units tend to be liquid cooled

EO is typically used to make MEG mono ethylene glycol which is used more for fabrics in clothing than anti freeze. I haven't been in that plant since my late 20s (now in late 50s) but they were mostly a standard chemical plant. Multiple explosions is usually bleve's ( boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion) of surrounding equipment once the fire starts and you can't cool the surrounding equipment the vessels and drums filled with liquid hydrocarbon boil and expand till they pop. I don't see any water being put on anything in any of the videos. You don't usually put out a fire like that you isolate the source cool surrounding equipment and let it burn itself out. Putting out the fire is sometimes worse depending on what it is.

That is but one use for it. Ethylene oxide is used in a lot of chemical reactions for making surfactants, emulsifiers, demulsifiers, ethoxylated amines, polymers, various glycol ethers etc.

Most people do not work with these chemicals but everyone knows what anti-freeze is. Ethylene oxide is a very important raw material for making a lot of chemicals that touch a lot of different industries.

Someone sure sucks at lighting the flare stacks!

 

[Jrb572]

Reminds me about Olin in Illinois had a truck load of primers explode a few weeks back. Never saw it on national news and was only on local news shortly around here.

EO is used as intermediate to mfg tons of other products. Dow is the largest chemical company worldwide. Expect chemicals, consumers goods to become short and price increases.

Finally some who knows something.

They’d shit if they knew how often these fires happen.

Enough of this chemistry talk, let’s get back to the regularly scheduled conspiracy theories

Buy more ammo.

Or how often pressure disks are blown, operators not watching a reaction and it runs away.

 

[Dead Eye Dick]

I suppose that is why Louisiana, so disliked and so criticized by the rest of nation is still tolerated. We are the one state brave enough (or stupid enough) to make the chemicals the rest of the world can’t live without.

And yes Virginia, there is more to Louisiana than the stinking sink hole called New Orleans.

EtO is also widely used for sterilizing medical devices. EPA and Ecotards have been on the legal warpath shutting down EtO plants. When a big plant like Dow goes down, there's little to no cushion.

Ethylene oxide plant closures put US on 'cusp of a major medical logistical failure'

FDA should consider asking HHS Secretary Alex Azar to declare a public health emergency and override state legislation to get sterilization plants back online, one advisory panel member said.

They are about to start or may have just started a big turnaround in that plant. The company I work for has a part in it. Several friends of mine are dispatched to that job already. My dad and my brother were on the list to go but got pulled off last minute.

I've messaged a couple of the guys that are supposed to be down there but haven't heard anything out of them yet.
