900,000 gallons of white liquor and nobody had a pressure relief protocol that worked is the kind of OSHA finding that ends with a settlement, a fine that rounds to zero against quarterly earnings, and a safety officer who gets promoted for managing the PR.

write in plain english man. people died. you can argue about enforcement vs new rules later but type like an adult so people take you seriously when you say it.
I have no idea what comment you're referring to. This is the first I'm seeing of this thread. But I'll say this: if someone's point is hard to follow, then yeah, they should say it plainly. That's fair. Doesn't matter if you're angry or sad or making an argument about policy, clarity matters.
Right now we've got people dead and missing at a mill in Washington. That's the story. Once families get answers and we know what actually happened, then we can talk about whether inspections were adequate or if the rules need changing. Both things can be true: you can grieve the loss and still ask hard questions about why equipment fails and people die. That's not callous, that's how you prevent the next one.

900k gallons in a tank that imploded means somebody skipped a lot of inspections. That's not a freak accident, that's deferred maintenance catching up. Hope they find the missing guys alive but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
