Well, it might have to do with the fact that Texas is woefully lacking in regulation of above ground chemical storage.

Business as usual in our wild capitalism.

Texas Republican q’ers killing people one day at a time.

You forgot to blame Trump

I am sure the chemical plant operated under strict safety controls, oh, strike that, it’s located in Texas🙄

As usual...Texas.

It seems like a month doesn’t go by without something blowing up, shutting down or leaking in Texas. Decades of neglect from lax Republican regulatory policies are to blame.

Oh dear…that is a very bad way to die…my condolences to the families :/

That’s some strong fuckin vinegar

How awful, hopefully this can be prevented in the future and they have pinpointed the failure. Bad deal for a group of extremely safety conscious folks. Always keep an eye out for your brothers and sisters in and around industrial sites. 😢🙏🏼

Gregoire_1995 t’as vu ?

Vinegar ?

Probably dispensed with those burdensome regulations

Terrible..death from acid has got to be one of the worst ways to go I'd imagine.

Harris County Pollution Control is on the scene to monitor air quality .

Getting pickled to death seems like a pretty bad way to go. 😬

Death by vinegar?

It all happened just after 7:30 pm on Tuesday .

Two people were killed in the leak , and four others sustained burns and were hospitalized , according to the company .

😏🌞🤣

Texas is in a competition with Arkansas and Florida to see who becomes a third world state first.

Oh my God!

Isn't acetic acid (CH₃COOH) vinegar? Were they 'pickled'?🥒

Nice job with all of your deregulation TEXAS !! FU©K R€PUBLICANS !!

this is terrible news

This is the thing with Conservatives who don’t believe in Government regulation of industries, eventually it’s going to kill people and people will notice. It’s to bad people continue voting for these people.

Wow lots has been happening in Texas. What’s up with that?
