Pembroke Chevron oil refinery blast victim's son speaks

BBC Website 5 August 2011

The son of one of four people killed in the Chevron refinery explosion in Pembrokeshire has told how he could also have been a victim of the blast.

He said his father was working overtime on the evening he was killed.

"They wanted the tank cleaned by the next morning. It was just routine, a routine clearance of the tank.

The family texted and rang Mr Riley as soon as the alert was declared but there no answer.

In the early hours of the following morning, Chevron rang to say Dennis Riley was among those missing, he said.

Mr Riley said he would remember his father as a devoted family man, who called round after work every evening to sit with his grandchildren.
