From BBC online news
“An investigation is under way after four contractors were killed in an explosion and fire at a Pembrokeshire oil refinery.
Another worker suffered serious burns in the blast at the Chevron refinery, Pembroke, at 1820 BST on Thursday.
Dyfed-Powys Police said the explosion was in a 730 cubic metre storage tank, where maintenance was being carried out.
The plant's general manager called the news "utterly devastating".
Chevron confirmed that the four people who died were contractors and said another worker was receiving treatment in hospital for serious injuries.”
When did this ars*hole last do an honest days work
“However Simon Hart, Conservative MP for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire, praised the plant's safety record.
"It's a really important business but it is a dangerous one and it's had a fantastic safety record," he said.
"Credit where credit's due, it's had a long, good record.
"I don't think we should go around dishing out blame until the investigation is over."
