Paper mill explosion in Maine

[EL34]

Just saw this on YouTube
Looks like it happened a couple years ago but I never saw anything about this?

Wait until the 45 second mark to see the crap start raining down on the truckers

This is some crazy sheet

you're reading the wrong news


don't have the links, there are 20+ mills/granaries this past year all went up in a blast/fire/spontaneous something, guesses range from 20-40% impact on food-stocks for both human and animal.

And toilet paper

I've seen worse. Two percent of the world supply of bourbon (approximately 90,000 barrels) burned in a single fire.

Midday  April 15, 2020. Newspaper story:

The Farmington propane blast seven months earlier was deadly and probably more violent; but nobody had a camera running so it has been forgot (except by a few). post-blast drone footage

I do remember when that happened in Jay.  Love that footage. You get to hear some real Mainers uncensored.

"You jus can't get they-a from hay-a"

Flour mills are bad.
The lace mill up the street went up from lint and a spark when I was a kid.
It took days to get it out.

Worst thing I ever saw go up was a propane rail car!
