The fertilizer warehouse explosion (not actually a plant) was not a
safety regulation issue. The issue was the encroachment of a residential
area into an industrial one. The fertilizer warehouse was there first.

Some years back there was similar blame and whining when there was a
fire at a warehouse full of pool chemicals in CT. The usual fuss about
why it was allowed in a residential area, when the real question was why
was residential building allowed in an industrial area. The pool
chemical warehouse again was there long before the residential
development around it.
