How many died this time? Is Jindal awake? He might want to do something now.
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- Firefighters from Mobile, Ala., (click here) and U.S. Coast Guard crews are responding to explosions and a fire on two fuel barges in the Mobile River.
Mobile Fire and Rescue officials tweeted Wednesday night that two natural gas barges exploded and three people were hospitalized. Information on the extent of their injuries was not immediately available.
Video from WALA-TV (http://bit.ly/15NEYJl) shows flames engulfing a large section of the barge. The news station reports the barge is on the east side of the river.
U.S. Coast Guard Petty Ofc. Carlos Vega said officials were on their way to the scene.
The cause of the explosion was not immediately clear....
I understand Jindal is refusing the Medicaid offered by the Affordable Care Act. I don't know why, he receives 80% funding already, may as make it 100% unless of course he has decided to actually raise taxes on the petroleum industry to help pay for it.
I want Louisiana to pay for the time and materials of the USA Coast Guard that responds to their emergencies. It can start with the BP Deep Horizon Gulf Oil Spill and work forward from there. Louisiana gets a lot of services out of the US Coast Guard. It is time for them to carry some of the cost because these accidents are pure negligence by the state and local authorities.
I want to know when the US Attorneys are going to begin prosecution of state officials in the cases of negligence causing these emergencies where there is loss of life, including, West Texas. Companies aren't suppose to have to VOLUNTEER to provide safe working conditions.
