Yes, it isn't the first time there has been an explosion in the drying area. The last one blew a lot of tin off the walls. There were some injuries also.

Man sounds like they need to revise some operating practices...

It's all going to be OK. Worksafe BC will botch their investigation and the company will claim they didn't know about dust explosions and fires.
