Excess flaring at Mossmorran gas plant sparks calls to fire service

[dunkace]

[QUOTE]The incident on Thursday at Mossmorran in Cowdenbeath meant the ethylene plant had to be closed down for repairs. When the plant is closed, more gas is released through the stack and the flaring gets bigger.[/QUOTE]

Similar things happen near where I live - sometimes the horizon looks like kuwait circa 1991

Hey, cool, I've been there. Noticed a pretty big flare stack from South Queensferry back in October and decided to drive towards the flame, photo opportunity did not disappoint.

I live in Rosyth (About 10-15 miles away) and it is fucking bright. Plus it's not like a continuous light so the sky glows. It's weird.

Imagine seeing that with no prior knowledge of this?
