racinfarmer Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 The way I read it is it is at the milling plant next door, most likely a grain dust explosion, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Industry is more dangerous than most realize.....shit can go bad really fast when unanticipated situations occur and human error is factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Prolly gonna be many of the injured fighting for months/years with 3rd degree burns (or worse). I hope they got lucky. I wonder if this was a human fuck up or equipment failure. Has Slinger been alerted? He may already be on site getting to the bottom of all this. Or, does he really need to be on site to figure it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, does he really need to be on site to figure it out? I work with a guy who had 160 tons of molten steel explode all over him. He was in the hospital for months with burns all over his body but he recovered , many skin grafts etc. He said he doesnt remember much of the first month but he said it sucked for quite a while after.

Jesus Christ! I was watching some of that lava roll out from wherever last week and I thought how bad it would suck to step off in it. Watching and feeling it slowly melt all the way to the bone....then that too. With little to do to stop it. FUCK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring me to a vet and have me put down! 4 hours ago, f7ben said: every plant has several safety violations .....that means nothing Having OSHA show up is the equivalent of a DOT inspection.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Most pain I've ever felt by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
