Aftermath of Grain Explosion
A fire burned inside the one million bushel grain storage in Alabama for 60 days, ending in a large explosion. The dome’s top was completely destroyed. A grain explosion in a conventional silo will scatter concrete debris up to a half mile away and will often cause fatalities. When the dome top opened, it released the explosion upward and sucked the debris back inside. No injuries, deaths, or other damage occurred.
