OAKWOOD, Ohio — Several people were injured in an explosion and fire at an Oakwood manufacturing plant Monday afternoon, witnesses say.

Did FEMA show up yet? Are there enough negros impacted to warrant their attention?
FJB and his ENTIRE administration!!!

They haven’t gotten around to the narrative the white supremacist domestic terrorist groups are causing all this chaos. Part of the early agenda 21 plan was to herd the populace after the culling (depopulation) into urban areas for better control, sounds like a starter to me, food plant fires, chemical plant fires, oil refinery fires, sabotaged electric substations, train derailments carrying deadly chemicals

It’s the Biden syndrome.

Just another isolated incident. That’s like, what, #1,757 this year so far?

Better ask ChatGPT what’s up.

Bet it says “white supremacists” and/or “extremists” three times in its “analysis.”

Yeah and brass isn’t what it used to be...they “got the lead out”, and now it tends to crack a lot easier in my experience (esp. in low temps).

My wife heard it. Had a haze in our neighborhood. We drove past there a couple hours ago.

Another story sez it was in Bedford, Ohio?

I’m two miles away and can’t tell you the actual city. It’s at the almost literal corner of Bedford, Walton Hills, Oakwood Village, and Northfield Village. We have a casino about .2 miles away and an old closed down Ford plant right next door.

One web page implies that they process scrap brass

They do. Reports were saying it was like metal lava. They do smelting and have ingots and stuff. Local news starting to report 1 dead. I’m hearing around 13 injured.

We got pretty close at around 7:30. Could still see a smoldering cloud. There was a small flame still atop the building.

These guys have had incidents before. But nothing to this scale.

[mmichaels1970]

I think it’s two explosions in two different places. Oakwood is a suburb of Dayton

Na. We’ve got an Oakwood too. I believe it’s one of those things where the mail goes through the Bedford post office. But the physical location is Oakwood. It’s definitely walking distance from Oakwood to Bedford. And the fire chief interviewed on scene was from Oakwood.

PS, don’t ever speed in Oakwood.

After maybe 5 posts with it I decided to leave it unsaid.

But thanks.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Yeah, I used to live in a town like that. I’m just glad there wasn’t a second explosion.

[Vaden]

It is becoming hard to claim that we are NOT under attack by saboteurs.

The other explanation is that over two years worth of delayed maintenance and cutting corners due to Covid is collectively catching up to us.

Scrap brass...I have been to a bunch of these types of plants. The thing they have to be extremely careful about is making sure that the scrap doesn’t have any places where there is trapped water. Of all the things that could have happened, I suspect this is the mot likely.
