Yeah, this happened pretty close to where I live. I saw the helicopters flying around to take people to the medical center. I called my dad (who works for BP), and he said fortunately the people in his division who were supposed to be on site at the refinery were away at the office for a meeting at the time of the blast. Its a tragic event, but its fortunate that more people weren't killed.

This should also be an example to anyone that thinks that the oil and gas industry is safe.
