So, clearly there was some kind of warning. Any news on what happened here?
It's a good thing that the oil industry is so well regulated and concerned with safety that this kind of thing can't happen...oh...wait....um.....

Is that a refinery or a well? Doesn't seem built up enough for a refinery and the explosion/jet of flame after looks more like a wellhead.

Don't you know, @newtboy the industry will regulate itself if government would just leave them alone! Ask any Libertarian.

The article in the video description says refinery.

jokingly says...

Of course they will...just like they always have in the past.
We all know that regulations only exist to set up impediments to business, and are certainly not a reaction to people/businesses screwing things up with impunity.

Clearly the fault of unions. I mean the safety guy was sick but the union wouldn't let the bosses have someone else fill in without filling out 612 forms.

Why is it always video from the one guy with the flip phone?

Oddly enough, vertical video would have been better for this, but he even screwed that up...
