Another one

Just yesterday as the Williams Chemical plant in Geismar was burning, I couldn't help but be a little surprised that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often.  The natural beauty of the South Louisiana tends to be what dominates our mental image of the place but, in truth, it is built over with petrochemical infrastructure. There are over a hundred facilities like the one that exploded in Geismar.  Stuff like this could be happening all the time.  But it doesn't.  Except when it does.

An explosion occurred at a fertilizer plant in Ascension Parish Friday evening, sending multiple people to the hospital. One person died in the blast, reports say.

The incident occurred the day after another explosion at the Williams Olefins chemical plant in Geismar injured 77 people and killed two.
