Sooo...
A shitwagon shorted out and ignited the methane in the holding tanks.
Makes perfect sense.
The dairy farmers up here call liquefied cow shit liquid gold.
The shitwagon people pay the cattle ranchers to pump out the holding tanks, and they haul it off and sell it to the farmers, and then spread it on their fields.
Full circle.
The dairy people up here only have a couple thousand head on their ranches.
The risk of a methane explosion is very real.
This outfit had 18 thousand head.
Add a spark and KABOOM
Assuming their explanation was true:
1. Wouldn’t the methane disperse in the air?
2. Wouldn’t there be more than one human casualty?
3. Wouldn’t this have happened in the past?
4. Wouldn’t farmers (and shitwagon folks) KNOW to watch out for this - especially with the large bovine population?
5. Should the USDA and related federal alpha-bit agencies be all over these guys by now?
Sorry, but to mem, the cause if this doesn’t hold water.
HOWEVER, that guy that monitors military air traffic (youtube >> monkeywerx) has been reporting air re-fuelers in this area for sometime - indicated the existence of fighter jets and other military activity in this area. A connection? Who knows.
just my $0.02.
