Investigators point to a dust explosion near the unloader system as the trigger, with flames concentrated at the base—too low to activate the silo’s fire suppression system. Officials now focus on unloader safety as they piece together this complex, catastrophic event. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
