Ian Silvestein's house was destroyed three years when the Buncefield Depot in England blew up. The companies that operated the depot — Total and Chevron — won't help him.
Literally, nothing has been done to help him with his situation — or anybody for that matter. The local authorities have failed him, the governments have failed him, insurance has failed him, and the companies that operated the facilities — Total and Chevron — have ducked blame entirely. The massive companies made more than £18 billion in cash last year, but can't help a few people out when a leak in their tanks caused massive and catastrophic damage to dozens of people's lives.
Man's house blows up, companies responsible won't help (Thanks, Jake!)
