Is that plume large enough to be seen from the ISS with the naked eye?
Fun fact: this refinery was hit last only on April 16 - the fire, to which 150 firemen responded, raged for 3 days and was just put out HOURS before this strike.
To the firemen I recommend to just say fuck it and let it burn to the ground.
Probably, here is a satellite image.
Well, it would have been burnt anyways. Somehow i would prefer if they hit oil pumps instead, but that's probably a logistical nightmare.
From what I understand, this is the next best thing. If the refineries cannot accept the raw because of the damage, the pumps cannot just keep pumping, they have to be stopped and reactivating them is expensive both in time and money.
