I can see the massive column of smoke from the building's south-facing windows. Staten Island Refinery Burns After Blast The Associated Press Friday, February 21, 2003; 10:49 AM An explosion rocked an oil refinery on the edge of Staten Island, sending black smoke and flames hundreds of feet into the air. It wasn't immediately clear what exploded or whether any of the dozens of oil tanks in the area were burning. The explosion, which could be heard several miles away, occurred at the edge of Port Mobile, near the Outerbridge Crossing that links the island to Woodbridge, N.J., in the southwestern part of Staten Island, said a spokeswoman for the Staten Island borough office. It was reported shortly after 10 a.m., according to a spokeswoman for the New York Fire Department. No further information was immediately available. © 2003 The Associated Press
