Fire in Cataño, Puerto Rico

Tonight, 12:25am, thousands of Puerto Ricans were awaken by a huge explosion at Gulf’s oil refinery. The night became day, and everyone got on their roofs trying to trace the origins of the flames. Rumors started running online, conspiracy theories, even spontaneous parties took place as ways to cope with the stress.

I’ve dedicated this blog entry to all things Gulf refinery disaster. Here are the links as they become available. You’ll find photos, videos, jokes, and articles that go in depth regarding what happened tonight. Read the official story at Primera Hora’s page, since they were some of the first people from the media who were on it.
