Chevron El Segundo Refinery Explosion, California Exit
A massive explosion at the Chevron refinery in El Segundo, California, sends a fireball into the sky and blankets LAX in smoke. The facility supplies 40% of Southern California's jet fuel and 20% of its motor vehicle fuel. The hosts speculate that the incident might be a "suspicious" precursor to Chevron completely exiting the state of California for insurance or regulatory reasons.
