Well an explosion in a grain bin would require explosives right? Thats a whole different ball game unless there was something explosive already on site in the bin.
Sometimes i wonder if its as simple as turf wars between the mob and who ever.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 976826 No, there doesn't need to be explosives in a grain bin for it to explode. Grain can and does combust on it's own. It happens in the summer when the humidity, or lack of it, is just right. It's a known hazard of working at a grain elevator. [ link to en.wikipedia.org] This isn't the best article about the causes of grain explosions, most of the others are pretty technical. If you want to read more, just search on grain elevator explosions. Sounds reasonable i'll fact check it. Wouldn't these dangers be well known by now and accounted for closely? Who wants to lose an entire growing seasons worth of grain I don't know if there is any way to stop it. Every tiny town in the Midwest has a grain elevator or multiple ones in their towns though. I imagine something to prevent it may not be cost feasible for most of these places. I don't know a lot about the components that make this happen but grain elevators exploding during harvest time is an annual occurance.
