A Louisiana refinery with a long history of putting workers in danger is responsible for the latest deadly accident along Louisiana's coast.ExxonMobil's Chalmette Refinery, which allegedly averaged 83 accidents per year from 2005 - 2009, is now facing backlash after a worker died while trying to fix a dangerous hydrogen sulfide leak -- a leak that could have had grave impact on the community surrounding the refinery. Ms. Foundation grantee the Louisiana Bucket Brigade (LABB) broke this important story thanks to a citizen report submitted to the Chemical Accidents component of their Oil Spill Crisis Map; now they are playing a lead role in pressing for the release of further information about the leak -- which the local community was never informed of -- and about the death that transpired in the attempt to fix it.
