too far gone

I was across the street working at First Chemical.
The phones started ringing off the hook in the control room...
Is it First Chemical? NO...
Was it a terrorist plane? I don't know...
I quit answering the phone, and directed the calls to the front desk.
All that we were told is that a line burst and the fire started.
No explosion.
During all this a nearby tank close to the fire burst from the heat, flames shot 300-400' in the air. It was a massive fireball.
Don't let the downplay fool ya. I was 1/4 mile away, and could feel the heat from the flames.
Fill your tanks NOW...gas will definately go up. They don't need a legitimate excuse but this is a good one. A bad one for consumers.

Thank God no one was injured.
The only injury will be our pocket books.
