Ba-boom!
Burn, Baby! Burn!!!
(photo from kypost.com, see full story here)
Today, there is a large hole where the leaked diesel was yesterday -- guess they didn't want any brownfield actions -- just take all the soil and leave. hehehe.
Nice thing about having a construction site next door to the office... Not only do I get to see heavy equipment and concrete pump trucks all day, but today the deisel truck operator filling their fuel reserves up today left the pump running or the shut-off to the ignitor on the pump failed resulting in a pump engine that ran-away, pumping onto the truck and street, and eventually went Ba-boom!
Funny how once you've heard an explosion you never forget what they sound like.
The good thing is that the port-o-lets/jimmy-johns for the site crew, which had been engulfed in flaming deisel, had no occupants -- and the roach coach had already left that spot for the day... otherwise, it'd have been a sad day for the site.

Well... that's where the hairy part comes in...
it was a BP tank truck and not an employee... technically, they had no lost time injuries at the site because it was the BP driver who got the burns... somebody who manages there OSHA 300 records is happy about that, I'm sure -- not to mention whoever takes care of business interruption.. . meanwhile, I'm sure BP's gerneral liability carrier has been fielding calls today about lost work/business claims.
that is not my justice retiring but the Louisville-based, Justice Martin Johnstone.
