In remembrance to the close call we had with the near-release of deadly HF in the explosion, TRAA is holding a film festival, along with guest speakers on Saturday, Feb 15th 1:00pm – 3:00 at the Torrance Transit Center. All are welcome to come and learn more about the threat.
In that explosion, a 4-ton piece of equipment was blown off a structure and landed about 100 feet away, next to a tank containing massive amounts of deadly HF.
Had it traveled 6 feet farther it could have ruptured the tank or pipes leading into it, with deadly consequences for the entire neighborhood. We MUST do what we can to prevent such a catastrophe in the future!
