Paper Mill explosion

If anybody's at work, the language is NSFW, but very New England.

Nobody hurt. I bet we insure this place, too.

Keep watching - it gets really exciting after about 30 seconds

As if anyone's at work.

Holy shit.

I used to cover that kind of stuff for work. Wonder what happened.

I'll ping BIL and ask...

[LuFins Dad]

Bet they were making toilet paper...

[Jolly]

BIL said he knows that mill well. Pulp digester is what blew.

One of the guys he knows at the mill had his pickup crushed by a steel beam. The truck was in the mill parking lot. 500 yards away.

BTW, as an example of things we don't make...That mill at one time had five paper machines, making colored paper, food wrap paper, popcorn bag paper, cardboard, writing paper, envelope paper, etc.

They now only run one of at the most, two machines, and only make a couple of types of paper.

Where's the other stuff being made?

Give me three guesses.

First two don't count.
