Chemical works implosion startles local residents.
An implosion rocked the La Porte area for a few seconds on Saturday morning. The Sunoco Chemicals plant demolished one of its buildings. Ruble is all that’s left in the area. Some residents found out about the implosion through friends but other residents were never notified. They were startled this morning.
“It was just a really loud noise and i thought somebody was walking on my roof ,” said Lisa Rahimi, resident.
Sunoco Chemicals representatives said they did inform all residents and the controlled implosion was no cause for concern. Earlier this year, officials announced the closure of the plant. They said this is the final stage of the demolition process.
