No, but if it is in a factory and enough fine particles are kicked up and mixed with the oxygen in the air, it can easily become an explosive. But it also could have easily have been a gas leak as much of that infrastructure is aging.

They found 1 person alive this morning! All our fire and ambulances save Reading City, are volunteers so miscommunication is unfortunately pretty common.

Reply to comment by bluewolf71 in Dozens of York County properties will be underwater if Pa. energy project is approved by Aggravating_Foot_528
To power NYC only with solar you would have to knock down every tree and cover every blade of grass in the entire state of Pa . Also making solar panels is very verry verry dirty. Probably have to do the same thing with wind. Wind is very very very dirty too. Those comments do not mean i approve of the dam project . Just pointing out none of the "clean " technologies are actually clean.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Philly mayoral candidates stand in support of drag community by TransFattyAcid
My friend, that's exactly the point. The Drag and LGBTQ community didn't ask for this fight, conservatives (nicest word I could think of) brought it in order to DISTRACT people from all the real horrors in the world.
Don't be fooled. The LGBTQ community is here to stay. Hate and fear will not win. We ain't going anywhere.

Amtrak is wildly successful in the areas where they own the track.

What is so funny about your example is that the OP did that too.

It's back to 2 dead and 5 unaccounted for per the news conference that just ended.. The earlier (mis)information came from PEMA, which is pretty concerning that the state and local officials aren't communicating very well.

That information has been corrected at a news conference. 2 dead, 5 still unaccounted for. Supposedly the earlier information came from PEMA. It's a bit concerning that the state is giving out information that has to be corrected by local officials.

Seems like there are better options for electricity generation that won’t flood properties.
Solar, geothermal, wind….

> "It's pretty leveled. Unfortunately, there’s not too much to kind of be salvaged from it. The building in the front, with the church and the apartments, the explosion was so big that it moved that building four feet forward," said West Reading Mayor Samantha Kaag.

I live in the next town over. It's horrendous. They're currently up to 5 dead and 6 unaccounted for. It's speculated that it was a gas leak, reports of an odor of gas shortly before the explosion and the fact that fire was seen coming from the ground post explosion support that. It took forever for UGI to cut the gas to the area. Several people survived, some without injury. It's heartbreaking reading the posts of people looking for their loved ones that are still unaccounted for. I hope UGI is sued into oblivion. They've raised our rates twice in the past year and charged customers a surcharge since we all used less gas this past winter. Meanwhile their infrastructure is falling apart. There have been multiple calls to our various local fire departments the past weeks regarding gas leaks. My former neighbor worked there and I'm very concerned about him, he's a great guys.

So is flour. So is grain. Saying “Sugar is an explosive” is a shock/clickbait statement because it ignores the very specific context needed to make it explode.
You’re not wrong; but if you light a match next to your household sugar in a Tupperware container it’s not going to go up like the Hindenburg or at all really. That’s why it’s disingenuous and that’s my issue with the statement

In my experience camping in PA, rangers are mostly concerned with noise at night and stowing food so that it didn't attract bears.

Yeah, because Amtrak isn’t a train wreck.
