Get over it no one was hurt, your expensive house might be a wreck but think lucky your still alive... People die in africa through starvation everyday.
@SinisterDexter1 well we aint in africa and wen this happened to us in hemel hempstead everywhere else didnt matter so cheap you rubbish about africa to your self yea
Chevron is one of the largest foreign investors in Burma and is the only remaining major U.S. corporation with a significant presence there. In 2005, Chevron bought the company Unocal weeks after the latter settled a lawsuit accusing it of assisting the Burmese military junta in the torture, murder and rape of villagers during construction of a pipeline. We play excerpts of the documentary Total Denial and speak to Katherine Redford, one of the attorneys who brought the suit.
Chevron is partners with the French oil company Total in operating a natural gas pipeline from Burma to Thailand. Chevron became involved in the project in 2005 !!!
Eleven years ago, the group EarthRights International sued Unocal on behalf of 15 Burmese villagers. Unocal assisting the Burmese military junta in the torture, murder and rape of villagers. Unocal settled the lawsuit out of court. Weeks later Chevron bought Unocal.
my brother was one of the drivers and he hasnt had any help with what happened that day. It has effected alot of people and now maybe you will all get the help you need.
It's completely beyond me how something like this can happen without anyone taking responsibility. Take a minute to think about how you'd feel if your HOME was suddenly taken away in such a traumatic way - all you'd ever worked for. Someone, somewhere MUST step forward. It's shocking, sad and totally unexceptable!!!
The house was amazing and you had put so much time and money into it. It was a real shame that you lost it but we are all so lucky your still with us fella. Its so unfair what this has made you go through without any support from anyone above the friends and family around you. Fingers crossed this video will make them listen to you! Hope to see you soon Adam and Shelley.
I am gobsmacked. Not at the callousness of this oil company...or of any oil company for that matter, but that the British Government and British legal system has stood idly by. This is an insult to the sense of justice and "fair play" of people everywhere and I am not only disgusted...but deeply ashamed.
It is unbelievable that this travesty is allowed to happen in England, a country that prides itself on being the birth place of much that is good in legal systems around the world. For the sake of justice and fair play, British birthrights, or so I thought!, this cannot be allowed to continue.
c'mon the Govt. Times are tough - even tougher when you ain't got a home!
So much for these oil companies advertising they're investing £millions in eco-friendly initiatives at the moment when they can't get their own backyard or doorstep in order!!
Ian, it's great how you've moved on. I'm proud of you and you should feel happy with what you have now, your our friend and we will help you out whenever you need. Your buddy Jamie.
Excellent Buncfield shots of the 11 December 2005 look forward to seeing the complete Documentary. Its a Total Disgrace what Ian Silverstein has suffered.
OMG THAT SCARED ME! JESUS!

Is it true they are not paying out compensation because they haven't attributed exactly for sure what caused the blast in the first place?

I cannot believe what I have just seen. It's a disgrace. Why aren't the govt & council looking after this guy??
Once again it looks like big business is trampling over people's lives.
Is there a No.10 Downing Street petition open for this guy and the others affected?
18 Billion Euros!!

You faced a bleak and life changing period in your life due to this dramatic and unfortunate incident.
UK PLC sort it out for goodness sake...Ian's a good old boy and deserves a fair settlement!
PS: Your a bright spark, make sure your back yard doesn't face a big ol tank filled with 'boomy' stuff next time Big Fellah!
PPS: You didn't invite me to the barbie!!

It didn't take the most valuable thing that night, you are still with us cous.....I'm grateful for that.
You know my views on the companies responsible for this, it's about time they stood up and treated you fairly.
Accidents do happen but the real tragedy is the way they have dealt with you since.
I know how much of you went into High Grange, you deserve more........I'm behind you (as always)......keep smiling :-)
