I think that it's the area to the west of your location. See this absolutely ugly graphic I threw together in a rush, with credit to Google Maps for the image:
Also, look at bing.com's Bird's Eye View of the plant. That's not the same one.

An explosion in Middletown, Connecticut has rocked the town. Initial reports are that about a dozen people have been injured.
Middletown, United States - The Middletown Fire Department just said in a phone interview that they are in the process of putting out a second alarm. There are an unknown number of casualities. The explosion took place at NRG Power Plant on River Road. According to their web site they are the fossil-fueled electric generating plant in the state. Reports are saying that the blast could be felt as far away as Durham.

Thankfully with the internet you can’t get away with that. It’ll come out and Zero will likely get whacked if it is a terrorist attack. Personally I think it is. I just hope it isn’t a mini-nuke.

I was asking about the plane you mentioned?
Sounds vaguely like it could be a explosion inside the large exhaust gas “duct” area on the outlet of the gas turbine, before it turns and goes up the stack (single stage) or to the waste heat recovery steam generator (dual stage plant).
SO sad.

Kleen Energy was being built in an old feldspar quarry...that's another reason why I think it's to the west of where the NY Daily News, etc., are showing.
Here are some examples.

No...sorry... It's just that cicero2k was showing the Pratt & Whitney plant where they do F-22 Raptor assembly work, if I am not mistaken.
your welcome pennie
Ah lol yep one letter difference -g-
oops went back this was it
United Aircraft?!

It was being built as dual-stage.
30+ illegals in the UHaul, men with guns (not talking about cops). AZ Republic refuses to update their original net blurb. won’t use the words, “illegal immigrants”. however, other news sources are.
Pratt & Whitney is part of United Aircraft/United Technologies. That was the place cicero2k was describing at #217.
***thanks for that. Do you by any chance have a reference?***
I just retired from thirty one years in a 528 mw coal fired power plant with H2 cooling on the generator.
The generator is filled with H2 because it is a better coolant than air, it has less friction than air, and it holds more heat so is cooled by water cooling.
To prevent H2 from leaking out around the rotor shaft there is a seal around the ends with pressurized oil in them.
the oil pressure is very carefully monitored so as to stay a few pounds above the H2 pressure. This is what keeps the H2 in the generator.
geez, sites local haven’t updated yet on the UHaul truck.
“H2 definitely is used to cool synchronous machines”

TY -g- it’s all clear now
The plant in that picture is Pratt & Whitney’s Middletown plant. I know, I work there. I believe if you scroll north a little you’ll come across the site of the explosion.
