Looks like an industrial accident so far. My bro works Mont Belview, I bet he's puckered up right now. I know the security managers for BP, including the guy that has that plant. i'll check with them manana, they're probably real busy about now.

Probably the same plant where they had the big one years ago, its the biggest one in that area.

I'm going to Houston next week (4 April), and give a crap about terrorism. I'll kill them before they kill me.
