Taken from wikipedia:
Wiki maybe right or the story is made up one who knows.But Esso big bosses didn’t like production being slowed,so the mainenance people were told to not take the recommendation to check and maybe replace valves at 10 year periods seriously and the underlings being too gutlee to stand up,and tell them it had to be done,for fear of losing their jobs,found it easier to put lives at rusk,now we all know what happened
