Large cloud of smoke certainly sounds less ominous than excessive explosion!

It's
here (use "Zoom Out" to locate within state).
To: Wright is right!
LOL-there are other uses for industrial strength 7-8%% SH though. I would lean more towards hypochloric acid or maybe sulfuric. The blistering makes me think so.

Johnstown is roughly between State College and Pittsburgh. Home of Freeper Polycarp.
Local clueless news channels showing PRESS CONFERENCE. BULLETIN FLASH FLASH FLASH Container marked RIOT GAS (PEPPER SPRAY OR MACE). FBI Investigating. Dozens affected.

I think they missed the cables. They don't look covered.

SamAdams76, you fear-mongerer you!
Absolutely nothing on any news outlet. I think you are engaging in mass hysteria here. Let's wait until some facts come in before you go off half-cocked. Now go get yourself a beer and chill out until you have more information to report.

What local news channel??
