Flames burn brightly here at Venezuela's largest oil refinery in the nation's worst industrial accident in memory.
On Saturday‚ a deadly explosion ripped through the facility triggered by a gas leak‚ killing at least 39 people and wounding dozens more.
A day later‚ firefighters had the blaze under control‚ prompting crews to begin the massive task of getting the refinery back online.
The explosion comes after years fraught with repeated accidents and outages at plants run by state oil producer PDVSA.
Some residents nearby worried about the potential for even worse incidents.
[Interview : Nelly da Lugo‚ Resident] "PDVSA should buy all of these houses and get us out of this community because we are at a very high risk here. We are the most affected in this community not only because of the gases but also all the other things the refinery puts out."
Critics blame the poor management on Hugo Chavez's government just ahead of October elections.
Venezuela is a top oil supplier for the United States and Caribbean area.
Lance Armstrong - back on a bicycle days after dropping his fight against doping charges.
It was his first public appearance since U.S. anti-doping officials stripped his seven Tour de France Titles and banned him from competition cycling for life.
Armstrong maintains that he never cheated and retains support of sponsors.
[Interview : Lance Armstrong] "Well I think ah‚ well I think people understand that we got a lot of stuff to do going forward and that's‚ like I said the other day‚ that's what I'm focused on and I think people are supportive of that."
Newspapers in France‚ though‚ have seized on the controversy‚ declaring "Armstrong falls off his pedestal" and "Lance Broken".
Critics including the World Anti-Doping Agency say his failure to contest the charges can only mean he is a drug cheat who has defrauded the cycling tour‚ rivals and millions of sport fans.
The International Cycling Union has demanded US officials hand over its evidence so the case may yet continue.
