Savannah Sugar refinery explodes!!

Heard absolutely nothing about it. My prayers are definitely with those families.

GASlick:
Champ prolly knows more than I do. A sugar refinery in Savannah had a major explosion last night around 7pm or so. There are I think 17 people killed. They found 6 bodies today. It was so bad they didn't even get the fire out until late this morning. It is an absolute tragedy. The thing is though, it is getting almost no media attention and what it does get is spotty and doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.
So, I see Champs point about something not being quite right. They said the sugar dust ignited. Has anyone ever heard of that? Anyway, you can read about it on foxnews.com and wsbtv.com.
Timmay:

Yea, its not too far from it. They searched the River for bodies but did not find any. The fire was still going this morning, so they brought up a barge with a hose to help in the efforts. The report locally is they found 6 bodies so far, to my count that leaves 13 missing and unknown. They aren't releasing names yet but a friend of mine's brother was among the 6 they found. The fly over footage shows how bad it was, debri fell for like 10 minutes after the blast, and there were people running with their skin literally melting off. Sugar smoulders and turns to almost a liquid lava when it burning.
And guys, sugar dust is highly flamable when its contained in a silo, the big question is what set it off.
Anyway, thats the latest I got, may not be on for a while, gotta go give support to who I can.
Keep Timmj busy while I'm away.....
