All these Chem plants, and train derailments. And don’t shelter in place get the hell out of there.
They tell you that for a reason. It is far from perfect, but it is far better to be in a sealed building than it is to be caught out in the open on a clogged road. Clogged roads also interfere with the operations of first responders. In this case, we needed the roads to be open because the tankers and pump trucks were taking water from sources many miles away from the scene.
shelter in place? I would get out of there..
If you can see and/or smell the smoke you need to leave ASAP if possibe. Sheltering in place will result in exposure unless you live in a hermetically sealed building.
Yeah that sounds like stupid advice from these people. How do they expect you to keep the air out of your house?
I think I live in a hermetically sealed building.....but not roo sure.
The company says the air is safe to breath so there is nothing to worry about.
We're destroying this planet so quick.
How can they “NOT KNOW” what chemical is burning? And if they really don’t know, how can they advise people to “shelter in place”? Shelter against what? FUMES? Vapor? A gaseous substance? Smoke particles- potentially carcinogenic? Does everyone’s house have a positive-pressure HEPA - grade filtration system? Turn your AC off?!? … are they serious? What meaning will phrases like “ demonstrable damage or injury with standing to sue…“ or, reckless endangerment, or criminal negligence, wrongful death, involuntary manslaughter, dereliction of duty, etc. etc. what will be phrases like those and many many others come to mean in the aftermath of something like this? Compare this to the response of FEMA to Katrina for example, I just don’t understand why this pretense continues to exist - that none of this is ever going to happen, or that we are in a position to deal with anything even a tenth as tragic as what we have seen so far?
Anybody clueless or naïve enough to assume that in the almost impossible case that the unthinkable actually happens, the regular police, fire, EMS, FEMA, National Guard, etc. are going to come swooping in to save their life within hours, in all likelihood will spend some time in what will seem like a literal hell on earth, and eventually wind up as a statistic updated every night for weeks simply called “number unaccounted for and presumed dead“. If past performance is any guide, I don’t see how any other conclusion could be reached.
In my opinion,?people need to go as far is possible of the area, ASAP
"A fire exploded" ...... really? Explain that.
Good question 🤔
What 3 letter agency was involved?
Earthquake this morning, now a chemical explosion. Please, all take care, stay safe to all 🙏🙏🙏❤
Here we go again...
Youd think reporters would do a 30 second search to determine what Sound Resource Solutions manufactures. Absolutely LAME
They sell xylene ,mek and paint thinner
Do you know the MSDS for those chemicals?
@@ArtHelm naw just go to the company website they tell you what all it at that facility
@@edud8452 I just googled "xylene MSDS" it recommended removal of people in the vacinity and downwind. MEK gasses are heavier than air. So they hang near ther ground and low lying areas.
I live an hour away and have been put to where I can’t even go outside because of the smoke it’s getting really bad
The company says the air is safe to breath so you are OK.
Now it is they just lifted the stay in shelter order 30 minutes ago
Prayers!
We’ve seen this movie before
Does not look like anyone is even trying to put it out.
This video was pretty obviously shot in the early morning, sometime just after the plant blew up. Every fire station in the county was called out, along with a few from nearby counties. It took about an hour to get all of the resources needed to reach the scene. In the mean time, the Coldspring and Shepard department chiefs were organizing the response. What you are seeing is video of the period of time, early in the crisis, when all of this was happening.
Destruction by Design
This isn’t the last more to come we see what’s happening to this country
The Texas Air Quality Control Board should be able to identify what chemicals are burning by taking an air sample. They have drones don't they?
Yes, but Shepard is kind of out in the middle of nowhere. This video was shot some time in the early morning just after the plant exploded. It can take a couple of hours to get the State guys out there, in the mean time you have local fire fighters setting up their response. In this case, we had every fire station in the county, along with a few stations from nearby counties, staging in a parking lot about a mile from the fire about an hour before the State guys were able to get their equipment out there. Also, there are dangers in a fire like this that are not immediately apparent to the uninitiated. Do you see how black that smoke is? That is caused by an enormous amount of unburned fuel, in this case, petroleum products and chemical contamination. A smoke cloud like that can catch fire very easily. If that had happened, everything inside that oval drawn on the map would have been devastated. San Jacinto County was lucky here. They got their first responders to the scene very quickly and those first responders were skilled enough to set up an organized response to this crisis in a very short time after arrival. Most of those firefighters are volunteers.
Our LEO'S have tons of drones but they only use them to spy on people
I would think most of the workers have perished :(
They said it’s going towards Livingston but there was smokey clouds in Cleveland. It’s going up and everywhere.
And so it begins
Yup 😂😂😂😂😂
Remember, Texans have voted against any kind of regulation reguarding public safety and services since their Statehood.
I worked in a dangerous, well regulated chemical plant in another state.
We had public evacuation plans for cases like this.
They are telling people to shelter in place? If its that bad; I would be in my car riding the hell outta there!!
They don't even know what's burning, because business needs the freedom to decide whether to inform emergency services or anyone else what they're doing on private property. But of course they expect them to respond when private property goes up in toxic flames.
This is such a false comment.
@MikeC2K10 They are absolutely required to notify the public of events like this. And they pay taxes too, why shouldn't the emergency response services help them?
@@JozzysGuard look here, Jozzy. Both Mike and I are talking about the lack of proper regulation of business practices and safety procedures enforced by the government.
You are an ignorant fool if you think otherwise.
Just look at the powergrid failiures that killed hundreds of Texans in the last cold winter, because the Texas Republicans allowed utility's to operate without regulations!
"shelter in place" because you can't sue them if your dead.
They don't want panic on the streets; so they tell them to shelter, rather than evacuate!
You shelter in place because you don't want to be caught in the open on a clogged, narrow country road. Also because we had tankers on those roads sourcing water from as far away as Livingston.
@@fearlessfosdick160 I have a problem with people like you, Jerk!
You're quick to sacrifice the lives of people in immediate danger for your pathetic idea of throwing a five gallon bucket of water on a chemical that has a violent reaction to water.
I refuse to believe that there needs to be sacrificial lambs included in your disater plan.
but lets not forget ev's are gonna save the world, don't ever forget that, nothing else matters
The war has begun
Must be tough to get insurance in Texas for your chem plant
No such thing as shelter in place during gas or smoke movement
Turn off your AC? In a humid part of Texas? Only someone who hasn't lived in this climate would ask this. They need to pay for all animal and farm foods ....
Is this due to the earthquake today
What kinda chemicals?
Just Kinder Morgan having a little unscheduled burn event. This is totally within Texas emissions thresholds. Residents are strongly encouraged to wear their rebreather apparatus if they have one.
Headed towards Israel Texas,...? The last one like this was East Palestine ??? I would be closing windows and car doors as far as 150 miles north downwind, check the ash/film tomorrow on your car windshield if left outside tonight.
Interesting radar will pick up on this. They have got to got this fire out & fast. The environmental impacts are never good from something like this. People need to stay indoors. They should use the lake nearby to help put that fire out.
What about employees
By some miracle, there were no fatalities. One guy was burned and evacuated to a local hospital, but he's going to be ok.
More job losses
I do NOT subscribe to sites that add a begging spiel to every clip.
Prayers that God send rain to stop this fire in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen
The same god that sent the fire?
Chinese communist police Houston panda sheriff did this
How convenient
