43. Bama lefty-gas tanks are above ground too
Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 09:31 AM by underpants
and I mean each gas tank at each gas station. CNN had an LSU professor on this morning talking about how these tanks coupled with the MASSIVE chemical plants and the household chemicals from each household could create "Toxic Gumbo" (of course the prof didn't sya that the talking heads started using that term).

Frightening.

A string of lights illuminate the night sky over the rural, 100-mile stretch between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, Louisiana. During the day, these lights give way to clouds of smoke that rise from the giant mechanical structures that dot the area's landscape. The structures belong to 138 companies that comprise a virtually who's who of the petrochemical industry: Texaco, Borden, Occidental Chemical, Kaiser Aluminum, Chevron, IMC-Agrico, Dow, Dupont to name a few.
