It never just rains over Langley, it rains toxic fumes and escaping gas from the terrorists based at PO BOX80. As the Sandwell Evening Mail reported on 7th December 1990, this capped an absolutely terrible year of accidents and environmental disasters for this company, and it can only have been as a result of the abysmal, incompetent and failed management.
50 tonnes of phosphorus are reported to have exploded at the Oldbury factory sending a cloud plume of toxic gas and vapour into the air, just as had happened at their Portishead plant earlier in the year. This incident is important as it shows the dangers of unloading this highly dangerous chemical from rail cars, like the situation that had occurred in Ohio with Another Albright and Wilson train wagon in 1986. It is interesting to note the copper’s statement about the escaping phosphorus situation.
“As it burns it gives off the toxic phosphorus pentoxide which causes irritation of the nose, eyes and throat.”
This is not what Albright and Wilson staff had categorically lied to the press and public about after the Portishead release, where they claimed that the gas given off, (phosphorus pentoxide) ,was not toxic.
The area around the plant was made “a no go area” after being cordoned off by the plod, as well as being on standby to evacuate homes . The two other tankers containing p4 also had to be removed to prevent any further explosion in a fire that was tackled by 60 firemen.
A company spokesman by the name “John Pickup” , who I must admit I have never heard of in all my long research of this disgusting company, (and I question if this is a misprint), claims that no lasting harm was caused to any personnel. Well they said that about Phossy jaw as well didn’t they- liars.
But where was “Dr” Bloore in this debacle? Hiding his face down the rattlechain whilst supervising the Cremer and Warner investigation cover up for his company which was taking place at this point in time? Now where did all that crap from Portishead go, did it arrive by train……#insurancefiddle?
the dangerous phosphorus releasers.
