'Explosion' reported at Milford Haven oil refinery
Emergency services are responding to reports of an explosion at an oil refinery in west Wales.
Coastguards reported a "blast large enough to shake the windows" with "black smoke in the air" at Milford Haven.
They said the explosion was on the Chevron side of the Haven and away from the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals.
The Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service was sending crews to the scene.

Would Wales really miss Milford Haven all that much?

Seeing Crumble posted it, I'd say it's meant to be the boom of doom. He is very good at hearing it everywhere.Geoff wrote:Probably a sign that the rapture is imminent.

I still recall the Flixborough blast - I recall the windows shaking at my school albeit I was thirty miles away.

Well, I've just observed a train arrive at Cardiff Central station from Milford Haven and it definitely wasn't on fire. So I view this news with a large dose of scepticism.

Re: Milford Haven Oil Refinary Explosion
Milford Haven's got a curse on it I tell you!
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

They should check the local kids for cans of gasoline.
