On March 22, a fireball explosion was caught on camera at INEOS Phenol that left 1 worker hospitalized after a tanker leakOfficials said the explosion was triggered as liquified petroleum gas was being transferred from one tanker to another through a hose, and the first tanker had an unintentional leak.A worker injured after an explosion at the INEOS plant in Pasadena, Texas, has filed the first lawsuit stemming from the event, according to court documents.
In an update, the Harris County Fire Marshal's Office Chief Investigator Mitchell Weston expanded on the reason. A tanker carrying liquid petroleum gas was transferring the chemical to storage through a hose. "There are far too many explosions in our community. Chemical plant explosions are frequently mass casualty events, and injuries incurred during the initial blast are often exacerbated as workers flee the facility," Arnold said. " Escaping a chemical plant fire is a traumatic experience because everyone is afraid of a secondary explosion.
