At approximately 1500 EST, initial reports indicated that a large fire had broken out at the Scranton Army Munitions Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Eyewitnesses posted video and photos of the blacksmith shop at the plant billowing black smoke out of the stacks, much higher than usual.

so many modern day houses and apartments blow up sky high with fireballs
...
Then the legal marijuana product place in Michigan that blew up with hours of heavy flames


We can only expect more of it- the primary solvent used for extractions from marijuana of CBD (non-psychoactive) as well as terpwnes (flavor) and TCH etc (the psychoactive components) is warm, pressurized butane.

Yes, that's right: a rapidly growing industry and black market both use what amounts to a cigarette lighter left on a stove as a critical component.

...And it's a bunch of stoners/teenagers in charge of execution / safety. Yeah, look forward to a lot of exploding commercial and residential properties from here on out.

If this turns out to be a bona fide report, we can then add ammo plants to the long list of fires & destruction that have plagued the U.S. for the past few years...

If one was reasonably paranoid about the widespread destruction, it, almost, stands to reason that shipping<-->bridges were next...

Russia is a state sponsor of proxy wars, sabotage, and terrorism.

Biden will say he used to deliver raw materials there by a semi. And Beau died tragically in Iran, or Iraq… maybe Afghanistan or Ukraine… maybe all those places…

New Mexico just had a peanut plant go up in flames today. Add that to the list.

Russia has learned much from the CIA, FBI, NSA and State Department.

Oh my. They did say black smoke, yes? Sounds to me rather like someone has set alight 30,000 lbs of mashed bananas.
