Terrorist attack or accident?
Dave
started by a truck fire. workers thought they could handle it. couldn't.
I wonder if the truck was loaded with cylinders? That would put things
'out of control' very quickly!
Yes. Apparently they were filling a bunch of acetylene cyliners
simultaneously when a "connection" (maybe a regulator?) failed, a tank
overfilled and exploded.
From the description of it I read, the workers thought they might be
able to handle it very, very briefly. And if they'd had 911 on
speed-dial, and been dialing before the driver hit the ground, it
wouldn't have mattered.
