BP did the same thing in 2005, and their plant blew up. They blamed the operator who had worked 45 days straight on 12 hour shifts and was watching multiple units with thousands of alarms. They used to have two operators watching one unit. Then it was two and then three units, then it was just one person. Seen this movie before!
