HELP!

I live in St. Louis and I have no clue what the fuck is going on.

Thanks mate, I put the news on.

PraxAir company is said to be the company's name.

Simu will likely use this as an excuse for another price hike.

LOL, I saw that on the news here, there were these cool fireballs shooting into the sky. I hope it wasn't by your house, Coley. It looked like an industrial area, though.

They had some residential areas right across the street. Bunch of condos and apartments I think.

I don't think anybody got hurt though.

If anyone cares to read on it. I live in the St. Louis metro area.. it's all the news stations are talking about.

That's just freaky.

Last week the Conair plant, located 4 miles away from my plant, blew up. I actually heard it 30 miles away and dismissed it as thunder.

Some wanted to speculate on the cause partly being the 100 degree temp here today. /groans

Some guy called into a news station and claimed it started because a lady was baking cookies in the kitchen at work? Umm, whatever dude.

Mind you, I barely listened to the droll of the news after the first few minutes of it.

It'll take a while with the investigation.

"Acetylene is one of the gases that is known to be at the plant."

I thought the no smoking sign was just a suggestion.

I was shocked and sad to hear about PraxAir. They have always had a clean system of operations.

Recently a Cplant Phillips Petroleum went up in Houston with medium incident of injury. I heard they were doing cutbacks at around the same time. Must have gotten rid of the stacks monitor. Well now the stacks are gone too. :lol:

You would be amazed at how often signs are ignored.
