Bonaire fire


Our correspondent in Bonaire sends us some impressive images of the fire at the Bonaire Petroleum Corporation, an oil refinery company 100% owned by Venezuelan state corporation PDVSA. Just go here to take a look at the air pictures. PDVSA says the fire is consequence of a storm and the lightning that came with it. Two oil tanks were affected. One of them had about 200 thousand oil barrels when it caught fire. The people in the island say PDVSA security measures are less strict than what any Pedro PĂ©rez has in a normal house in Bonaire.

According to the local chismes, Bonaire authorities asked the Dutch military forces to help in putting down the fire, but the Venezuelan embassy was not amused about it. Let's hope this fire can be rapidly controlled. Otherwise, they will have to rename the island as Malaire.


PDVSA ahora es toda roja-rojita

Thanks, B.
