If there's no after action report, we'll never get a good episode of Well There's Your Problem on this incident, and that would be a loss for both engineering and podcasting ;-(
Given the disruption this has caused in Orange County I would expect to eventually get a slick US Chemical Safety Board video on it.
I had to go look-- I thought the CSB got defunded and closed. Luckily it appears it did not (though not for lack of trying).
John Childgey's "Causality" podcast[0] covers stuff like this, and I'm sure he'll eventually cover it.
