Another day, another fire at a food processing plant.

One person is dead and several injured after an explosion at a poultry plant in Georgia.

An explosion at Tyson Foods Plant in southwest Georgia overnight killed a woman sleeping in the cab of an 18-wheeler parked next to the facility.

Several people were injured in the explosion. According to reports, a fire raged at the plant for 3 hours after the explosion.

The union representing 1,600 workers at the Tyson plant said a boiler exploded.

“We extend our deepest condolences to their family and friends during this difficult time. Right now we are still gathering the facts, but ensuring the safety of our team members is our top priority, and we are conducting a full investigation into the cause of the fire,” Tyson said in a statement, according to The AP.

I don’t know what sort of boiler this is, but designs I’ve seen have hundreds of small tubes. If the water gets low the steam can super heat resulting in an explosion.

The only thing worse than being killed in a steam explosion would be being mostly steamed but somehow surviving.

For those few days.

These incidents need to be investigated as potential terrorist or anarchist attacks. It could be just sloppiness but there needs to be way too many.

That is why Steam Boilers are inspected annually at least in all the factories I ever worked at. We would break open all the control cutoffs high and lo, open up for tube inspections, firebox and burner and check all valves for leaks etc. Some of these boilers would be several stories high so it was a major project.

The ASME has been around for over 100 years and largely started because of boiler explosions. Over-pressure and -temperature devices are not rocket surgery and are required. Someone really screwed up on this one, I expect. It probably was *not* the boiler manufacturer.

This is the way they’re gonna eliminate people. Either by hunger or a complete chaotic survival first destructive divided nation. We have a lot of invader enemies who are walking on our soil now …so it’s anybody’s guess who is blowing up food plants. Remember the evil left-wing rats would love anything more than to see Trump’s term collapse so they can return to power. And right now as we’re posting our party is self-destructing and slithering each other‘s throat while our enemy is rejoicing and have been given a fantastic Christmas gift! You could call it a complementary Christmas gift, call it a lifeline from the stupid party! They got their Christmas wish to pit Bannon the party and Trump against Elon and Vivek. This was the best Christmas gift they could’ve gotten! Thank you stupid party!! STUPID PARTY!🤬

Was Boeing involved, or DEI hires in the maintenance?

The coincidence is cutting back on maintenance budgets by plant managers to pad the bottom line.

They hope to get promoted to upper management before they get bit in the ass,
