Rename page to 'Shamrock Oil Refinery Explosion' or "Shamrock McKee Oil Refinery Explosion"

Sources, both historical(the news a the time) and newer (The United States Chemical Safety Board Youtube Channel) refer to the event as such or some variation of such. Shamrock always shows up more often then McKee, so it should be included, if not replacing it.

The lack of material here is sad, seeing as this is the worst refinery accident in US history and the 5th worst in the world.
