Ah, life in the country -- right next to a petrochemical plant that experiences "emissions events" far too often for the locals.

  • i'm pretty sure the person who filmed this video works or has someone who works out at the plant! there's no way to know whats being flared out of the unit without being there!!

  • To start with banjo jones was trying to make a point.The plant near where he lives polutes way too much.I would think the problem lies in the plant,not on Mr. Joneses land.Looking at the fire in the background?You guys must be a part of management?Do you guys really think the fire in the background is acceptable?I bet they got fined bt OSHA.I do agree that Mr. Jones needs to move away from that place.Not a good place to raise a family.

  • Is your name really "Banjo Jones"? Seems more like it should be "An Asshole Groans".

  • I would like to know where you got your "facts" about what was released. Better yet, just crawl back under your rock. Flares are designed to safely dispose of materials during a unit upset. Would you rather just have your house or shack be leveled by a blast? There is very little you can buy that is not made in part from one type of petroleum product or another.

  • You are using equipment containing plastics (computers,cameras,trailer house), so you are part of the problem. Just hook on to that old trailer you live in and move it to the middle of the desert somewhere. Whiny-ass freaks don't need to be complaining everytime an upset happens. Didn't see you mention anywhere that you were glad that no personnel at the plant were endangered. So, now I suggest that you go #### yourself.

  • You morons would have the plastic for your damn computer if it weren't for chemical plants. And by the way, this all responsible because of a SNAKE. Thats right a SNAKE. Give it up losers. Brazoria county is the hellhole. Not the plant.

  • What kind of a genius buys or builds a house next to a refinery and then complains about flares and loud noises?

  • Y'all have absolutely no idea what y'all are talking about! Would you rather them put out the flare?? Then the unit would blow up... come on people... weigh your options with a little more thought next time!
