Explosion in chemical storage tank during hot work

I had just posted the dangers of hot work a couple of posts back and now there is news of an explosion in a chemical storage tank when welding was going on that killed one contract worker. The accident happened at the Dupont plant in upstate New York. Read the article in this link.
Update: The tank reportedly was empty but earlier contained vinyl fluoride as per this news article.
