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

    In BC Canada, we are suffering a rash of pulp mill explosions. The companies and labour board kept saying pulp should not explode. Now there a high level crown inquires.

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

    the narrator says wheels like stewie, w-Heels

    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

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

    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.

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