For a time in the 1980s, it seemed like the fate of the Philadelphia tidewater refinery was sealed.
In July 1990, an explosion at ARCO Chemical's petrochemical plant in Channelview, Texas, on the Houston Ship Channel, killed 17 workers and injured five others.

This creates a dilemma for the fire department, Murphy said, because if firefighters were to put out the fire, "whatever's blowing out of the main blows right into the atmosphere.".
