Witnesses said there was an explosion at a metal factory
An explosion at a Cleveland-area metal factory killed one person and injured several more people while prompting multiple fire crews to respond Monday.
Witnesses said an explosion occurred at the I Schumann & Co. metal and paint plant in Oakwood Village just after 2 p.m., Fox 8 reported. The company produces copper alloys.
The Oakwood Village Fire Department said 13 people were injured and taken to a hospital. One of them was in critical condition, the news report said.
Fire Capt. Brian DiRocco said he saw some burn victims at the scene and that at least one person had to be pulled from the rubble before being taken to the hospital.
A large plume of smoke coming from the building could be seen in the air. The cause of the explosion has not been determined.
Videos posted to social media purportedly show damaged vehicles struck by debris from the fire

Lots of things can go wrong when melting metal.
3 were killed at a company I used to work for smelting
aluminum believed to be due to ice in some of the scrap.

Sabotage????
Highly unlikely. Suppose not impossible. 100 year old foundry. They’ve had some fires before (never this bad). I’m guessing accident.
My wife heard it and sent me a picture of the smoke cloud while I was at work. Ashy haze in the air too. Drove up to within 500 yards of it yesterday. Smelled like burning oil. Huge emergency response.

Molten metal poured into a wet mold can do that.

If the FBI could pry themselves away from their TDS and investigating Melinia's underpants and bras for a while
they might have time to investigate this growing onslaught of industrial and infrastructure "accidents".

So, you don’t believe that there is a saboteur on the loose in Ohio.
