Blue Rhino propane plant

[tiresmoke!]

Petro-chemicals and working around them...I laugh when the DOT inspectors ask me to show them the fire extinguisher in my truck cab.

They ask "What's so funny?"......I tell'em I know where it's at so I don't get caught on it as I run like hell. 8200 gallons of JP-8 going up in a big KABOOM....yeah, that 5-pound bottle ain't gonna do shit except become a projectile as the cab and myself are vaporized.

Someone had an "oops" moment somewhere with this Blue Rhino incident..those tanks are pretty stout and leaks won't occur unless someone has a head-up-ass moment.

This was REALLY bad!

Roger that... one of my cousins has a piece of plate steel that landed in great grandfather's yard from the explosion. Twisted like a pretzel, about 3/4" thick.

I bought a hood this week from a guy in West, Tx. They appear to be getting back to "normal".

then again, my abnormal ex-brother-in-law blew up his garage storing fireworks materials in there. Bad enough that the BATF showed up. Some safety rules are there for a reason.
