Anyone who has taken one of my HAZMAT or Process Safety training courses has heard about and seen video of the Atlas Foundry LPG BLEVE that occurred back in 2007.

So as we approach the 10-year anniversary of this fatal accident and BLEVE I thought it would be a good idea to set the record straight with what actually happened and how it happened.
