“Are there reports of fatalities?”

I was just making a general comment about steel scrapping, which I have some knowledge of. I don’t know anything about this incident other than what was in the post.

There are videos online of what happens.
I toured a plant years ago and the process is most impressive.
When something goes wrong it’s even more so.

Thanks. I would expect fatalities if it were a complacent employee detonating something. The story says, “this evening” so I’m guessing Sunday night. I wonder if they were open for business. Too easy to suspect sabotage, these days.

It’s a steel manufacturing and metals recycling company (Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc.). Look for this to be the “new norm” in America with terrorists and saboteurs pouring across our southern border and roaming freely throughout the nation.

‘Generally, steel reclamation
Is done in arc furnaces.
It is possible the scrap was wet which would lead to a steam explosion.”

But wouldn’t there be the required safeguards put in place to prevent that? (silly question, considering the era of programed stupidity that we’re now in)

Could the missing F-35 make it that far on autopilot?
