[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4014162, member: 5412"] More than likely, there was a manure removal system that involved a water flushing system that moved the manure to a collection/processing area where it’s de-watered to allow the manure to be recycled and the water cleaned to be reused. A facility of that size doesn’t rely on people with scoop shovels and wheelbarrows. The methane collection system was likely a massive ductwork system that held thousands of cubic feet of gas inside making the perfect bomb the full length of the building when the system failed. What typically happens when there is an explosion like this there is an immediate secondary explosion from the dust being shaken from the walls and ceiling that has been building up for years which is why we did water wash downs on the interior of the coal burner power plant where I retired from. The secondary explosion can potentially be more powerful than the initial blast. [/QUOTE]
