Yesterday at about 2:30 building I work in shook. Usually when that happens it's either a train derailing on the tracks that run just outside the building or an earthquake. We were betting earthquake, although it was kind of weird that the building shook and not the ground. Then someone suggested we look out the window... The oil refinery across the freeway went "boom" in a big way. Some questions about the article: it claims that the flames were out by 4:30, live shots on the news after 5 still showed lots of boiling orange; and news sources seem to differ on the number of emergency workers hospitalized, although everyone seems to agree that no one was really seriously injured.
