Wow, what a devastation! They better be more careful if this factory keeps blowing up.
I grew up in a small town which had a fuel depot in the center and a paint factory two miles away. The paint factory was considered the #1 disaster risk, and had its own firefighters, who kept it safe until it was closed recently. The worst local disaster that did happen was in a neighboring town, a dust explosion in the wood shavings storage of a fiberboard factory, killing three people including two firefighters.
I've never seen anything like it before, Well if the factory's neighbors get their way it won't get another chance.
Dust explosions are no joke! Until my parent divorced we had a woodworking business, so my brothers and I got taught about dust explosions from an early age. The only thing blowing up when we were going up were meth labs, but those weren't anywhere near on the same scale.
