Insight: In hours, caustic vapors wreaked quiet ruin on biggest U.S. refinery


The Motiva Enterprises oil refinery in Port Arthur, Texas is pictured in this undated handout photo obtained by Reuters June 22, 2012. On June 9, during repairs to a minor leak at the refinery. the inadvertent introduction of a small volume of caustics ultimately caused what could be billions of dollars of damage to the plant. The full extent of the damage is not yet known.

PORT ARTHUR, Texas (Reuters) - In the end, all it took was a small chemical spill -- perhaps less than a barrelful -- to bring down the newest, mightiest oil refinery in the United States
