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].

Could be simple incompetence. We have workers who don’t know what bathroom to use. Just had a pilot eject from an F-35 for some unknown reason and the jet may still be flying around on auto-pilot.

The new hires I see at work are either lacking in self confidence and skills or think they’re smarter than those of us that have been working for twice as long as they’ve been alive, yet they also lack skills and with their arrogance, will never learn them.

Recycling plants do go boom every now and then.

We had a major fire and Boom! near Waxahachie a few years ago.

And remember - these ultra-safe recycling centers are just so important to saving mother erf nowadays.

As long as they are not too close the where the pretty people live.

Actually it’s the legacy of Jack Welch of GE infamy.

Jack showed corporate America how to suck up to Wall Street and reap fame and fortune.

Utilities like PG&E short cut transmission line maintenance and burned down chunks of California while railroads like the Norfolk Western cut road maintenance and contaminated places like East Palestine.

On the plus side the bottom line looked great to Wall Street.

Oxygen/acetylene are also likely used for cutting steel.

“Oxygen/acetylene are also likely used for cutting steel.”

They are, to a great extent, which inherently provides a source for an explosion, but more likely some scrapper got complacent and didn’t think to check what was in the scrapped tank he was about to cut up.

Well, did everyone just assume antifa went back to momma’s basement to get high and play video games?

The OP describes possible actions by the ‘brown shirts’ and we cannot rely upon a corrupt government to investigate their own agenda.

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

For many of these fires, especially the ones in recycling facilities, the reason why officials are remaining quiet is embarrassment over the cause. They are caused by lithium ion batteries. This means that Yes, we are in fact heading in the wrong direction.
