Funny how all these gas company’s or food plants are blowing up all of a sudden.

So today, a chemical factory in St Louis, a plant in Saint Catherines and now one in Quebec? Anymore factories etc explode today that I don't know about?

Reminds me of the famous Sunrise propane explosion in Toronto a decade ago. He cause was determined to be technicians performing an illegal and dangerous ‘tank to tank’ transfer of propane. The operators body was never found

I am sorry to have to say this but pipelined gas is safer.

Blizzards will last till March April ok

Time to relocate those huge tanks far out of town just like they do in Mexico...likely due to similar accidents.

Another chemical plant in states.. Illinois I believe

Tons of cameras at all of these sights across the world!.…. However seems as if they are all broken!... Stay tuned to your local news station for more lack of coverage! Swept under the rug... Like everything else we are not allowed to talk about today.

An We're worried about legal Gun owners with guns. When your local Fuel dealer is a large Bomb waiting to go off.

no activists near by with their heads glued to a bbq or tounge frozen to a lampost?

Crazy thing that it’s almost near my hometown

Looks like Quebec is going to see another propane shortage. Better call Saudi Arabia and the United States...they may need to send more oil for diesel powered equipment and gas heaters. The upside is that it's very hard to protest and stop a seafaring tanker from sending oil to eastern Canada. Which ocean or sea would you try to stop them in, on their 5000 plus nautical mile journey from Saudi Arabia?
