Let The Rumors Begin -- The Timing Is Very, Very Suspicious -- April 26, 2018

Link here. Explosion rocks Wisconsin refinery.

A tank containing crude oil or asphalt exploded at a large refinery in Wisconsin on Thursday, injuring several people and causing a blast that one worker described as sounding like a sonic boom.

No fatalities have been reported, but at least five people have been taken to hospitals in Duluth, Minnesota, following the explosion at the Husky Energy oil refinery at about 10 a.m., Superior Fire Chief Steve Panger said in a statement.

Panger didn't have details about the extent of their injuries. Others were walking wounded.

A contractor who was inside the building told WDIO television that the explosion sounded like "a sonic boom" and that it happened when crews were working on shutting the plant down for repairs.

Panger said the fire was out by 11:20 a.m., although smoke could be seen rising from the plant. Panger said a small tank exploded containing either crude oil or asphalt.

A reader tells me that Enbridge "feeds" this refinery. On Monday of this week, a Minnesota administrative judge ruled that Enbridge's plan to expand its Line 3 pipeline could go forward.
