Türkiye: A huge explosion reminds of the danger of wheat dust
Even if this is little known and is often underestimated, it is the danger of wheat and its deposits. The dust generated by the rubbing of the grain, or even the suspension of the flour, is extremely flammable and explosive, as they were able to learn the hard way today in the Turkish port of Derince, where a large grain silo exploded in an extremely violent way, creating a strong shock wave and a mushroom seen from a great distance.
The explosion caused about ten serious injuries. it is not the first time that similar explosions have occurred, often triggered by trivial electrical circuits or simply by a discharge of static electricity.
