Skythe Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Link The Dixie Crystal sugar refinery here in town exploded Thursday night around 7. I was with the Garden City Fire Department. I was there from 7:30 PM Thursday to 7 PM Friday.
Lucandrake Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I saw this on the news last night, how does sugar blow up?
Jitway Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 Ya I saw this. Anyone get hurt? And the key ingredient in alcohol that you drink is sugar. Sugar ferments and is flammable.
Lucandrake Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I can't imagine sugar being flamable.... it's like trying to light a rock on fire in my eyes.
Skythe Posted February 9, 2008 Author Posted February 9, 2008 30 sent to the hospitals. 4 found dead. 4 still missing.
Jitway Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 30 sent to the hospitals. 4 found dead. 4 still missing. Damn what a tragedy/ I just finished reading about it on another news site and there are 5 dead now and now only 3 missing.
Tynvar Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Wow sounds terrible. It's weird how most of us would never imagine working at a place like that dangerous. Then things change in a second.
Skythe Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 I'm gonna head back over there around 8 in the morning. No telling how long I'll be there. Hopefully not a full day again.
Robert Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 First I heard of this. Sounds like you had a rough night.Seems that there are 6 dead now.
