Chevron offers coupons for pizza combo after fracking well explodes

Buy one explosion, get a pizza free.
Last Tuesday, residents of the small town Bobtown, Pennsylvania woke to an explosion and a massive, high-temperature fire, at the site of a fracking well owned by the Chevron corporation. It wasnt just any fire, either. Wrote the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Feb. 12:
More than 12 hours after an explosion that sounded like a jet engine going 5 feet above your house, as one neighbor put it, the fire, fueled by the wells gas, continued to shoot flames and smoke into the air, causing a hissing sound that could be heard a quarter-mile away. The heat from the blaze which caused a tanker truck on site that was full of propane gas to explode was so intense that first responders from local fire departments had to pull back rather than risk injury. They essentially retreated to let the fire burn, said John Poister, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, which had three people on site investigating.
One person was injured and another presumed dead.

On Sunday, Chevron Appalachia Community Outreach sent a gift certificate to those who lived in the vicinity of the blast offering them a two liter bottle of soda and one large pizza.

(143,998 posts)Lets take a visit to Bobtown, Pennsylvania, where Chevron Corporations fracking operation blew a gasket. Literally.
After an explosion that sounded like a jet engine going five feet over your house, flames from the explosion issued a challenge to the sun even 12 hours later.The heat from the blaze which caused a tanker truck on site that was full of propane gas to explode was so intense that first responders from local fire departments had to pull back rather than risk injury.
The fire burned for five days, putting God only knows what into the air all around the area. As of today, one worker is injured and another is missing and presumed dead.
Being a responsible corporation, Chevron wanted to make things right to the community after killing one of them, injuring another, putting something awful in the air, and expecting a small local fire department to clean up their mess.
So, free pizzas! A pizza for you. A pizza for you! A pizza for you! Everybody gets a pizza!
...Notice how they made the coupon expire on May 1st because, lets face it, you might not live that long. But, hey, they just went all out and even threw in a 2-liter drink!
The pizza place says that Chevron bought 100 of these gift certificates. Thats nice. Maybe its all they could afford.The nations second-largest oil company saw another strong year on better performance from its refining business. Chevrons 2012 earnings of $26.2 billion are the second highest result in company history, behind $26.9 billion in 2011.
Screw it. Elizabeth Warren for President!
