If it was Terrorism, it would never be reported by our state run fringe media.

Quite a few things could explode in a coal fired plant. Coal dust, tripped coal pulverizer, loss of sealing oil for the hydrogen in the turbine, loss of combustion air, ect.

I lived in Middletown a few years ago when a natural gas explosion destroyed a newly constructed home. It shook my place. I can’t imagine the force of this blast.

“loss of sealing oil for the hydrogen in the turbine”
is H2 used for cooling, & if so, why not air, because H2 has a higher heat capacity?
