If you have been reading all the articles on boston.com, it's possible you may have missed this one:

http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/04/27/reports-of-an-explosion-at-the-marathon-detroit-refinery

Hard to find on cnn.com as well, if it's even there. Anyone keeping tabs on this story? What's up with that? Thankfully, there appeared to have been no casualties, but with the growing tar sands debate, it seemed to me something worth listing among the headlines.

There's some debate about the presence of the refinery at the site, owned by Marathon Petroleum. About 800,000 gallons of heavy crude oil had been dumped into a nearby river back in 2010. It has yet to be cleaned up.
