A moment of silence 3-23-06 @ 1:20pm A year ago today there was an explosion at BP Texas City that killed 15 and injured 170. We have some members on LS1tech that work at BP Texas City. I am just asking at 1:20pm you could just have all the people that were affected in your thoughts and prayers. I am one of the members of LS1tech that works at the BP Texas City site. Thank You.

Has it been a year already? Wow! They'll definitely be in my thoughts. My brother works at Rohm and Haas in Deer Park, so I always worry about plant explosions.
