Area: USA, State of Texas, Delek Refining Plant , Tyler


There's been a gasoline spill at the Texas oil refinery where an explosion and fire last week killed one worker and injured five others. More than 2,000 gallons of gasoline spilled out of a tank and flowed into a creek Friday at the Delek Refining plant in Tyler, Texas. Firefighters set up a foam barrier to try to keep it from spreading. They had cleared the area after getting reports of a strong gas smell and nobody was hurt. The refinery was closed at the time of the spill because federal safety investigators are still probing the cause of the Nov. 21 explosion. Last winter the plant was cited for a number of safety violations, including blast resistance guidelines. The Delek refinery has a capacity of 60,000 barrels of oil a day and is rated as the 94th-largest in the nation.

6. If I understood what part didn'tmake sense, I'd be happy to.

I really don't understand your confusion. You're from Florida, you are cracking on Texas, and that seems ironic. :shrug:

8. Fl. doesn't have oil related explosions as does Tx.

I post Tx. explosions nearly every month.

Fl. explosions take place in politics :)

5. happens all over the united states

my first husband was a union pipefitter and was killed in 89 in an explosion at a petrochemical plant. 12 others were injured. the OSHA standards were ignored thanks to Reagan in the 80s, no doubt they are ignored now.
and the explosion in 89 happened in the midwest.
