I totally agree that this is exactly what happened. It's always amazed me that people would even consider living in a home right next to an industrial area. They are under the false assumption that it must be safe or they would not let people live there... right? It is no different than people living below a dam or in a flood basin. The best protection is self protection.
Likely it wasn’t a Chemical Plant initially when the property developments went in. Which would likely change people’s risk calculation. A Fire or explosion at a Factory or storage warehouse can be a different beast than a fire or explosion at a chemical plant. With the fallout being contained largely to the factory property. Versus Chemical Gas which can spread over a large area in a matter of minutes.
Though in this case we have a fairly good idea of what the cause was already. It was GKN the company who owns an operates the plant actively not maintaining safety measures/equipment. In order to save money. With an established paper trail of citations showing it to be a consistent pattern of behavior from the Company.
They’ll probably get fucked in court if it goes that far unless they bribe the Judge
I'm sure we will find out later more about what happened. I am curious to see what factors were involved and whether there were severe lapses in management and oversight as well as neglected safety issues.
