Grain elevator explodes at a Turkish port

Well that's awfully fucking convenient for a certain someone currently trying to weaponize the world's grain supply, isn't it.

I read something earlier that said the explosion was the result of 'dust compression.' I've never heard of that, and suspect it's wrong. It's a volatile atmosphere in the proper stoichiometric ratio and a single spark could set it off.

Compression would be like a diesel engine, and i don't see how that level of compression could occur in a silo.

If'n somebody knows more about a compression explosion in this situation, please enlighten me.

The two people who stroll out of the building at the end of the clip are pretty chill
