The crazy bald dwarf gives advice on plant inspections, poor firefighting techniques, halon extinguishers, zoning, and federal aid, all in one totally ignored post:

On Texas.
The accident revealed, once again, a few things we already knew.
1.- Lax regulations...they will get ya every time.
2.- Apparently that plant was inspected five years ago...they should be inspected every three...is this the Texas State government or something else?
3.- I love vol FD...I was a volunteer for ten years, and most of the time they are great. Here...they used water on an oxidizing agent...no, water is not good for everything...this is a hazmat response. The FD initial response might very well have caused the latter expulsion. No, I will not blame lack of correct fire fighting chemicals and probable lack of training on volunteers, but I almost expect the authorities to do such.
4.- A halon extinguisher, industrial system, would have likely put off that initial fire...those are expensive. Why they need to be mandated and inspected for.
5.- If you are complaining about zoning, it's not just Texas. As I posted somewhere else...CA has a potential accident that will make my personal worst look like rank beginners. We have three west coast refineries in Los Angeles a stone throw from homes...take my word on this...one goes, let all three, it won't be pretty, unless you like explosions and fires. Every time I drive through that area on I-5 I grow cold.
Oh and yes, this week has brought the worst EMS derived snark ever... So my apologies for it
And lastly, they are already requesting Federal aid, they should get it, right after the Congressman is reminded he voted against Sandy...not surprisingly he is a tea party republican, class of 2010. Let me not start with Governor Perry.

Zero response from her little band of DUmbasses.

Oh, well. If they couldn't put off the fire, an expulsion will make your personal worst look like rank beginners.
...take my word on this...

However long we watch her, I still cannot bring myself to believe that she doesn't see that she is only an object of ridicule. I couldn't being to write a post like that, even if I knew (as she clearly does not) the subject matter under consideration.
