combustible dust is something my neighbour used to do as a kid for fun, with a candle in a cake tin, blowing flour in. he's about 65 now, so it's not a new problem at all.
in terms of non organic things combusting, everyone's seen a piece of magnesium ribbon on fire
I knew about this hazard sence 1984 as a fire equipment technician. I'm a phoneman now and I can tell you I have seen hundreds of plants with dust issues. I have run cable through rafters and in some cases you could write your name in the stuff.
Why wasn't the CSB recommendation following the Imperial Sugar Refinery explosion that flame resistant clothing (FRC's)be worn by workers that are exposed to a combustible dust flash fire environment?
That was a awful day. I was ten miles away and I felt the ground shake. My Mom, who was working at Lenoir Memorial hospital that day, says she'll never forget it.

@James1toknow Do you clue the people in at those places of the potential bomb above their heads when you find them?

This reminds me of the grain elevator explosion in Westwego, Louisiana in 1978. Dust seems harmless but it's deadly under the right circumstances.

@watermon1 The fire is the smallest of your problems if you find yourself in a dust explosion.

Very well done! Should get be nominated for an Emmy that could be shared by all the victims' families of such tragedies.

I worked at CTA acoustics when this happened. The worst day of my life, and I still think about it every day
