1. It sounds like they were real slow reporting the leak.

Watched a local station report on it. According to them Pemex waited about 30 minutes before reporting it. Also they said they wouldn’t be going in until the morning to see if there are other deaths. But that doesn’t make any sense. They should know how many people were there and how many missing. Also they should have full hazmat suits with oxygen so they could respond.

Deer park just got over the massive pipeline fire a couple weeks ago.
