Explosion at Eni Refinery in Northern Italy

From Italy there are reports of a powerful explosion at a refinery. According to preliminary data, an explosion occurred at one of Eni's refineries.

This factory is located in northeast Italy. Footage from the scene in Sannadzaro de Burgondi shows a column of black smoke rising hundreds of meters. Eyewitnesses observe the spread of smoke from a distance of tens of kilometers.

Extinguishing the fire was hampered by the fact that large volumes of toxic substances — products of the burning of crude oil and gasoline — were released into the atmosphere.

Local media report that the explosion occurred at a plant near 6: 35 local time. Alarm sirens after the incident roared for at least an hour. Residents of nearby settlements called for evacuation.

According to preliminary data, the explosion occurred on the so-called gasification installation.

If you believe the representatives of the municipality, then at the moment the consequences of the explosion are eliminated, and the company is returning to normal operation. At the same time, there is no data on what caused the explosion at the plant of the Italian energy company.

Mayor of Roberto Zucca:

We continue to monitor and investigate. I want to reassure citizens. There are no threats to life now.

This is definitely not the Hussites and not the Iranians! It’s good that there are no victims!

[Nycomed]

Of course not they! Why should they blow up a plant where, possibly, Iranian oil is refined.

[dzvero]

This is definitely not the Hussites and not the Iranians!

Why not? Tomorrow we learn that there were eleven drones, one went astray and flew right up to Italy without refueling, in a fair wind. What is no reason for the United States to deploy its missile defense bases in Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Central Asia to protect it from Hussite drones?

[tarabar]

And I would not be so sure, now the light elves from across the ocean will show video footage from the satellite, as someone in a T-shirt with the inscription "Freedom to the Hussites" launches a drone with the inscription "Burn in the hell of Sannazaro de Burgondi" and voila.

[mavrus]

Don't run ahead of the locomotive. The US representatives have not yet spoken. Which will definitely "prove" to us that it was "evil Iran" that attacked Italy (maybe even in alliance with North Korea and Russia).

[Ural-4320]

Yes, here it looks like this explosion as in the joke "fucked up such a parable" that there is still no official explanation from the United States.

Then questions to the NATO air defense and the American missile defense in particular ....... Did you all go for maintenance at the same time?

[HAM]

Yes, yes you are right .... Kim tested this missile .... (we are waiting for something like this from Washington).

[Sarmat Sanych]

It’s gone. Recently, in Philadelphia, one of the world's largest refineries exploded to hell, in China a couple of months ago, half a city took off from the explosions at the petrochemical complex, and then on the list. Well, this is normal, now in the world there are not only terrorist risks but also technological ones, the whole western oil and gas infrastructure is very worn out. But Russia is rapidly modernizing its oil and gas industry, and rightly so.

not only terrorist risks

They shouldn't be discarded. Now the probability of terrorist attacks is much higher than man-made. Let the Europeans thank the United States for this. (if somewhere a terrorist explodes something, then most often the United States has something to do with it, albeit not directly ...... although indirect participation is often questionable) ......

[Alexey Sommer]

All these events in recent days, very clearly demonstrate the vulnerability of the energy infrastructure of modern society from asymmetric attacks around the world.
Even if it was not an attack, but a simple accident.

[Thrall]

There is no protection from the Italian nail-guard.

Let's wait for the officialdom. And we cannot exclude the usual violation of TB, or the same human factor - he pressed the wrong button. Remember in the film "Peculiarities of National Fishing" when Seryoga pressed the wrong button on the boat?

[Alexey Sommer]

Of course we will wait. But "Serega" can press the wrong button again.)
Purely theoretically.

So I say, there could well be a human factor.

Soloviev has already flown to Italy - to check if everything is in order with the cottage?

Is your relative
Do you have a summer house there?

[Mestny]

What kind of relatives are there?
This one came running straight from the rally.

[stas-xnumx]

And whose hand is seen here ??? Soon we will hear something incredible from the USA ...

[Sarduor]

And the oil is growing. If several American tankers still "sink" over a very deep point of the ocean, then the coincidence will be too obvious

[Rwmos]

Directions from the Saudis home - looked into Italy

[Last centurion]

oil for a hundred?

[sergo1914]

Our already offered them the S-400? Along the way, sales season.

[g1washntwn]

C-400 will not be enough. UAV armor is necessary and generally layered.

If these are those frames, then I do not believe it! For these Italians, if a neighbor burned her fried eggs, then she .... and her place in ward number 6. The southern mentality, explosive excitement.

[faterdom]

Call Pompeo here! Let Iran urgently blame, otherwise everyone may not think of those! And not even the Hussites!

[Mihail2019]

It looks like the price of oil and derivatives will jump even higher ..

[bogart047]

Is this company involved in the construction of the SP-2?

[APASUS]

Where are these world exposures of Iran, China and Russia from the media, the ubiquitous politicians from the United States, revealing the enemy’s military operations in seconds ................ Or something went wrong?

[Chingachguk]

Very interesting .... But in fact, the United States did it! And in general, why the whole world is waiting on whom exactly the minke whales will point their finger, the most honest found?

[NF68]

Iran not yet blamed?

[Evil 55]

Has the world really come to the era of oil terrorism ..
