73. Damned near as cruel as your "shrugs shoulders" response to a post regarding the deaths ...
of the innocent neighbors living near one of those virtually unregulated Texas businesses of which you are so enamored. You know, the one that blew the **** up, leveling an entire neighborhood.
Now, feel free to shrug away.
May 1962: The Centralia, Pennsylvania coal mine fire began, forcing the gradual evacuation of the Centralia borough. The fire continues to burn in the abandoned borough.
July 23, 1984: Romeoville, Illinois, Union Oil refinery explosion killed 19 people.
February 7, 2010: 2010 Connecticut power plant explosion. A large explosion occurred at a Kleen Energy Systems 620-megawatt, Siemens combined cycle gas- and oil- fired power plant in Middletown, Connecticut, United States. Preliminary reports attributed the cause of the explosion to a test of the plant's energy systems. The plant was still under construction and scheduled to start supplying energy in June 2010. The number of injuries was eventually established to be 27. Five people died in the explosion.
And many, many more happened in those Blue utopias, idiot.
