Massive Explosions In Columbus, GA - Possible Factory Explosion
Georgia Record ^ | 9/17/23 | staff

Posted on 09/18/2023 4:20:26 AM PDT by CFW

Massive explosions from a possible factory fire rocked Columbus, GA this evening.

The development comes in a long string of infrastructure, and factory fires/explosions over the last year across the United States. The Biden administration has been silent on this issue.

The fires in California/Canada/Maui have also been very suspicious.

The Georgia Record will work to find answers and has a reporter on the ground in Columbus this evening.

UPDATE: The explosions seems to be located near 712 Tenth Ave, Columbus, GA.

UPDATE: The event appears to be at Radius Recycling, reports WRBL. Large flames and smoke can be seen coming from behind the Schnitzer plant [steel recycling].

Including Chris Christie. Saw him on TV doing a campaign event and it reminded me of Biden or Jeb! with like 20-30 old people they paid to be there and half of them looked like they were falling asleep. I’ve never seen Chris Christie so huge before.

This one in Columbus, Georgia at a recycling plant.

'recycling plant' is a little vague. What gets recycled there? Typical junkyard stuff, or something new in the mix, like EV batteries?

One might easily come to the conclusion that leftists are behind all of these train derailments, plant explosions, wildfires etc. - all to ‘save da erfff!!!’ and to take down our way of life by destroying american infrastructure.

“I’ve never seen Chris Christie so huge before.”

Waiting for some animal rescue group to try and roll him back into the ocean.

Steel recycling. You know, the metal that’s never melted in human history…

How many potential saboteurs have come across the southern border??

How many are working in factories, processing plants, etC. looking for a chance to do their nefarious work??

The article only says steel recycling, so their investigative journalism is lacking despite their claims.

We have a Schnitzer plant in our town a couple hours south of Columbus. It’s where we go to sell scrap metal. It’s a pretty big operation but I can’t see what would have exploded at one unless someone dropped off explosives of some kind.

Fort Benning/Moore is in Columbus, wonder if something got thrown in the wrong can or placed in the wrong truck.

If they melt the metal to reform it, there would need to be a massively hot heat source. Such a heat source could be the clue about the explosion.

Steel recycling.

OK, thanks. Is that dangerous enough to cause explosions?

You know, the metal that’s never melted in human history…

I don't follow. Are you referring to the 9/11 conspiracies?

Either way, what is involved with the melting of steel that can cause an explosion. Is NatGas used in the process. I'm just looking for what might be used, sabotage or industrial accident, that can cause the explosion.

Yeah steel is not the issue. Propane or natural gas are likely suspects.

That location is due east of downtown Columbus, adjacent to a double N-S rail way and south southeast of a big rail yard.

Sounds likely, thanks. That still leaves it open to being sabotage. That's an easy default condition considering the state of this world.
