I will haunt anyone who puts a memorial to me on a bumper sticker.

Why would we take care of people? That sounds socialism! /s

Yeah, I know it’s out early, I just didn’t know when it stopped being made. Hell, I’ve already seen Mother’s Day flowers and balloons. Which is confusing since they will be long dead and deflated before May.

My first thought was a gas explosion. Happens way more often than people would think. About 286 per year, or just under 1 gas explosion per day.

Maybe the contamination would make Dasani water taste better? I’d die of thirst before I would ever take another sip of that crap

Reports from employees are saying that they complained of smelling gas on the day it happened. They said the reported it and were told it was being worked on. The Gas company is saying they were not notified.

You're thinking of the 2 workers that fell in the chocolate vat.

Other states probably think we're doing a Willy Wonka OSHA speedrun.

I worked at a distribution center for another company, but l will bet the Easter candy was made 4-5 months ago. Go to any grocery store or national drug chain they have that stuff on the shelves months in advance. I know where l worked they will start shipping “ back to school “ by the end of April or at least have a lot of it picked and staged.

Pottstown just had its third “mysterious house explosion” a week or so ago. Perhaps that’s what you were thinking??

I mean, there were 9/11 jokes pretty much the day after the event. It's dark humor for a reason.

If only people werent brainwashed into thinking unions were bad and actively vote against their own interests.

Probably wont be chocolate cake.

There was news that the co-workers were doing a balloon launch for the victims. I swear to fuck if I die, and people litter in my name I'll come back and haunt every single one of them.

I have a former employee that worked at a chocolate factory not far from here. He said that there’s so much dust and small particles in the air he wouldn’t be surprised if one foul spark set it all off

While I agree these people should face charges and compensate Philadelphians, I fundamentally disagree that any form of legislation that would encompass that could be do broad as to cover more than one industry without either being unenforceable due to it applying to literally everyone, or ineffective because it's too broad as to verifiably argue for anyone to follow it.

I’m apprehensive too, and I’ll be in South Philly all week (cause I live here lol), so they’d better frickin update me before Wednesday!!

Why could I swear this exact same thing happened last year? I saw this post and someone else post it yesterday, but swear I saw that video and heard about this months ago. They didn't have it happen twice there right?

Edit: It was most likely an unrelated explosion in Reading last year that I am remembering.

A union could help . . .

It's in the article, but just in case anyone wants a TL;DR of the responsible parties:

Altuglas, a subsidiary of Trinseo PLC

CEO Frank Bozich

Sugar dust was my first thought too.

That makes sense. Easter is really close.

What company was it?

I'm across street from it. Best view point. So obviously we have news crew in the parking lot this morning.
