Talk:Louisville sewer explosions

Untitled

I think we should really merge this into the Old Louisville article.--Bedford 05:57, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Article has since been expanded a lot. Technically it was just west of Old Louisville, too, in the industrial zone between Old Louisville and the west end (now mostly brownfield). --W.marsh 13:06, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. =P I also put it up for DYK. shoy 16:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I added it to Portal:Louisville, which has its own DYK section. --W.marsh 01:36, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Cause of origin of accident is not disclosed in this article

The article only says that the Hexane recycling system of the plant was not working, but sending a large volume of flammable/explosive Hexane into the sewer is not described or properly explained, nevertheless, the article mentions that "negligence" was rejected. Unless there was an extraordinary condition that posed an immediate danger to the personnel on the plant, diverting Hexane to the sewer is aking to a criminal negligence, since plant design and operation should preclude such discharge. The article only gives a too small emphasis on the possible consecuences of discharging a highly flammable solvent into a sewer, which is inviting disaster because the sewer is almost an ideal container for the explosive vapors to become fully mixed with air and reach the explosive range of concentrations. Just look at what happened in Guadalajara Mexico. As it is, the article is not completely neutral and minimizes the real danger of this type of solvent spills into sewers.
