A CSB safety video about the June 21, 2019, fire, explosions, and toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF) release at the Philadelphia Energy Solutions refinery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A severely corroded pipe elbow ruptured, releasing process fluid into the refinery’s HF alkylation unit, which then ignited. The incident caused the release of over 5,000 pounds of highly toxic HF, launched a 38,000-pound vessel fragment off-site, and resulted in an estimated property damage loss of 750 million dollars.

Maaaad props to that console operator! Holy cow. She got on it real quick, doing everything she could to minimize damage. What a baller.
Gov just won’t stop the 1 WO nonsense bet truth will be revealed and you can’t stop it
Liberals at their best work
The quality and detail put into animated refinery and city is better than modern video games. I hope whoever made it was comepensated adequately.
He’s smiling…so why aren’t all these pipes constantly watched and maintained… can’t say there isn’t enough tech to do it…
Hydroflouric acid will completely dissolve your entire hand within minutes. They call it piranha solution for a reason. My dad's scientist friend had to testify in a case where a lady was using it to clean some sort of equipment and lost her hands in the process…
Can we please just cut Philadelphia off from the rest of the U.S. and watch it float off into the ocean. Nothing good ever happens there. It was a forgotten wasteland before and after this catastrophe. They make up all their own overreaching laws as well so they act like they don't need the rest of us anyway.
“The Urban Location” of the refinery. Lol! You mean “chemical genocide”. Everyone go read the book Silent Spring.
Watch your elbow's folks…. The FCC explosion at Shell Norco was a 6" line that wiped out an entire city block of that refinery. Inspections should have a starting point and ending point. 100% coverage. Period.
Why did Obama do this?
1:12 – Yes, it should be, but it won't, because running a business in good ol' capitalist corporate America is all about how a company can take the cheapest quickest route to fix something, which includes not fixing it at all because it's cheaper to take the lawsuit.
there you go example of standardization that backfires. more inverstigation. or just agree with me that engineers are retarded on this pipe angle.
Accident dont think so, more like it was blown up by our corrupt government
17:26 No, sir. Thank YOU and the rest of the CSB for making these amazing postmortem accident analysis.
Guy with 3 huge eyes: The explosion caused no known injuries to citizens.
The man walking 2 active safety valve u should have been retired and compensation immensely
"installed in 1973"?! and it hasn't been maintained since then? i don't know whether to be impressed by the durability of the pipe or be disappointed by lack of maintenance in 46 years
explosion vids are always exciting. that's what happens when you don't maintain equipment
Was really lookin forward to this release!
it happened. too late.
Better get going….beeettter get going ! Digging into the reserves is NOT SMART.
We are going to end up with NO DIESEL! WE WILL BE FU**** !!!! NOW!!!! GET ON IT
Like all things involving the super rich corporations increase profits any way you can, jncluding cutting back on safety costs.
Wow happens to be in this refinery
They kinda glossed over that there was a 4th fragment that wasnt recovered.
Greed and it's consequences… typical.
Anybody serve any prison time for this?
they did a pretty good job containing that though in comparison to how big the fire was. so kudos to the workers for stepping up.
Why are all the food processing places, refineries etc. having disasters in the last two years?
