Here's another bad one, from Texas City, 2005
Very detailed explanation of what happened, 55 mins, so be warned, it goes on a bit, but I work in this industry, so I guess I found it interesting.

A friend work at the Castleford refinery back in 1992.
He took a late lunch, which saved his life. When he was finally let back into his office to collect personal possessions there was nothing left. He says the thing that sticks in his mind is that the phone on his desk had melted into a pool of plastic.
