5 minutes compilation from different angles
Exactly what I was thinking.Wow, play it at .25 speed. Wonder if this was an underground covert weapon assembly plant.
A grain silo, if not properly maintained, say by a bunch of Islamic terrorists that have no clue what to do and are, as a culture pretty lazy unless there is something in it for them, can explode spectacularly. The dust they create is extremely flammable and basically makes a fuel air bomb. A single spark can cause one to explode. And fuel air bombs are devastating.
Like an empty fuel tank, empty grain storage bins are not to be played with.
I might sound stupid but I don't follow. Do they like to blow up?

This clip has a couple of views that I hadn't seen on others - a couple taken from on the water.
Go outside.
Take a small straw.
Dip it it corn starch about an inch.
Blow the straw through a candle flame from a couple feet back.
Now picture that fine mist followed by the bright flash contained in a metal structure.
Gas itself doesn't burn, the vapor does. Grain itself doesn't burn either, the dust does. An empty gas can is full of vapor and an empty grain bin is full of dust so yes, they can blow up.

Hmmmm ... supposedly 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate? While not a true explosive alone it’s oxidation properties sure work in mining and such when mixed with other components and ignited.
If true ... why were they storing that much of that stuff there?
I'm going with potassium nitrate. If there's already a fire and it's heated it becomes unstable and potentially explosive. Happened in west Texas several years ago.
Just a gentle fix: => West, TX. Not "West TX."
Only being fussy as I've been there a few times: good folk with a strong historically Czech immigrant population. Kolache are incredible.

Ah, back when science in school was fun! I vaguely remember an experiment where I made a toxic gas in class. My flask was noticeably higher concentration than the other students. The teacher told me to stop, slide it under the hood and crack the cover just a little and let it sit. Then there was the time I got hold of some potassium permanganate out of the lab store room...Go outside.

We used to make "candies". A little potassium permanganate, a little glycerin in a little scrap of paper. You roll it up and twist it like a toffee to apply pressure. Once it started to make it sizzle, you tossed it. It would burst into flame.Hahaha!!! That potassium permanganate & some glycerin makes fantastic fires. I got in so much trouble in Chemistry, creating fires & explosions.
Haha! One of my dad's stupider moves- I was ~7, he hands me a straw he stuck in flour and told me to blow it into the toasty fireplace in our living room. The first 3 times nothing happened, then the fireball that darkened the ceiling and the knowledge a 7 year old that just had to show his friends.Go outside.

They did that last week.When will Pelosi and the House form a committee to look into Trump’s connection to the explosion?
Oh that’s right “they” had everything ready they just needed an event to fill in blank name in the title.They did that last week.When will Pelosi and the House form a committee to look into Trump’s connection to the explosion?
This is the closest ive seen... probably a recorded livestream where dude didnt survive.
YES! Nobody gets my reference when I say that!!!
