Explosion rocks Texas as chemical plant blows up following gas pipeline breach
Evacuations ordered after Texas gas pipeline explodes
Images taken of the fire in La Porte shows an extremely large jet of fire forcing into the sky, bringing thick black smoke with it.
Omg lol, sorry but I have to laugh when people don't spell check their article:
Meh. I used to live on that side of town. That stuff just happens.
But, but the sky is falling. Ahhhhh
Small world...we were just there last Saturday.
That side of town is loaded with chemical plants, refineries, and pipelines along the Houston Ship Channel and on the coast of Galveston Bay. I grew up surrounded by it.
First of all, it wasn't a "plant". It was a Kinder Morgan pipeline.
Secondly, nothing "blew up". Pipeline ruptured or valve failure.
Thirdly, it wasn't a "gas" pipeline. Natural gas burns clean. This was probably mixed hydrocarbons.
If you watch the videos, none of the locals are panicking. They know the drill.
SUV hit a valve. Probably recently arrived driver….nothing to see here, move along, move along.
Arrived from where?
Maybe Springfield lol.
Correct. Here is the story.

Interdasting. The vehicle accelerated towards the valve.
Vehicle hit valve station behind a Walmart. I saw the video.
Distraction!
