18-Wheeler Explodes At Texas Refinery

Authorities trying to account for all 100 employees at the AGE Refining Inc. facility in San Antonio and are evacuating residents within a one-mile radius

SAN ANTONIO
-- An 18-wheeler being loaded with fuel at a San Antonio refinery exploded Wednesday, setting off a chain reaction of smaller explosions and sending a towering plume of thick black smoke over the city's southeast side.

San Antonio fire spokeswoman Deborah Foster said authorities were trying to account for all 100 employees at the AGE Refining Inc. facility and were evacuating residents within a one-mile radius. It was not immediately clear whether anyone had been killed or how many were injured. Foster said some workers were being treated at the scene.

Sounds to me like the person loading the truck forgot to hook up the ground clamp to dissipate the static electricity that builds up when loading fuel.

I guess that we will have to wait and see what the investigation turns up.

I agree with 1:23 AM, he did not properly ground the truck as he should have before attaching the fuel siphons. One little spark is all it takes with fuel vapor.
