While I agree that all this does seem kind of fishy, it may be the fact that the Gulf oil spill incident has caused us all to by hyper-vigilant regarding any incident in the oil&gas industry. Who knows, a couple accidents a week may be the norm, they just don't break the news like they are now...
horseshit
He's correct. Try living in the petro-chem-refinery belt. You would understand.
Why don't you research it...instead blindly reaching for that bottle of doomtard
I have been working in the industry for over 25 years, yes there are incidents, but not of this magnitude or in this short of time frame.
Do you realize the amount of education and training that is required yearly for all employees (operators, tech's, managers)?
I do, I live it yearly, the oil industry is one of the most tightly regulated industries there is, period.
If one thinks about the number of gallons that is moved, refined, pumped on a daily basis, you would realize the true nature of what's required.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 739448I think it's a combination of things. Oil rig catastrophe in the gulf - really fishy. Oil rig overturned in transit - stupid operations/lack of planning/accident/relatively low impact. White smoke/gas leak at the bottom of a rig - only made the news because of the heightened awareness. Truck explosion - stupid operations/accident/procedural issue, bad timing - but not fishy.... So I think, yea, there's something fishy going on, but not EVERYTHING that goes on is fishy. KWIM?
