This Sucks

These guys where all my co-workers until I decide to go back to Montana last summer. Just guys trying to make a living. You can cuss big oil all you want, but, these are the guys that boil oil 24/7 to bring the world gas. It really is kind of like working on a live bomb, a very big one.

I saw that this morning and thought of you. Was hoping you had not taken a contract job.

That does suck Jim. A horrible loss of life.

I now know who they all where and some where real friends. % of them are now dead and the 2 in the hospital do't have much of a chance. Another friend told me he felt the explosion almost 15 miles away. I have worked on that piece of equipment many times. Imagine a vessel that has flanges that with hydro test to over 3000 psi rupturing full of super heated lighter fluid. I was told what probably happened, but, that don't really matter. Great people that actually work and produce to bring the rest of us something are gone.
