TEXAS CITY,
Texas Mar 24, 2005 — All but one of the 1,800 or
so oil refinery workers have been accounted for after overnight search efforts
following the thunderous blast killed 14 and injured more than 100 others,
officials said Thursday. "We think we found all the people," refinery
manager Don Parus said. The fiery blast Wednesday at BP's 1,200-acre plant
near Houston shot flames high into the sky, forced schoolchildren to cower
under their desks and showered plant grounds with ash and chunks of charred
metal. Windows rattled more than five miles away.

14
dead in refinery explosion
March 24, 2005 An explosion had rocked BP's
sprawling refining complex in Texas City, Texas, killing at least 14 and
causing extensive damage, the company said."We believe 14 people lost
their lives as a result of the fire," BP site director Don Parus said. An
estimated 100 people were injured by the powerful blast, which shattered
windows and shook buildings for miles around, BP and area health officials
said. Of the injured, more than 70 were working at the facility, plant
spokesman Bill Stephens said. "It's a sad day for BP," Mr Parus said
from the third-largest US crude oil refinery. The blast sent a huge plume of
black smoke billowing into the sky near the city of Galveston. The plant is
about 56km south-east of downtown Houston. The explosion took place on the
western side of the sprawling 485.6ha complex in one of the units used to make
high-grade fuels. Company officials said the cause was not immediately known.
BP said it did not suspect a terrorist attack was behind the blast, which
caused several scattered fires at the plant that took firefighters about two
hours to extinguish. "We have no reason to believe this was anything
caused by an outside agent," company spokesman Hugh Depland said.
