Ohio is under chemical attack. It physically pains me to have to tell you this, but - trains don't get flat tires. Neither do boilers in metal fabrication facilities.
"Ohio" is not under "chemical attack." All we have at this point is an accident, the specific causes of which are still to be determined. But like nearly every accident, the causes will be multiple. The journal-box fire is one cause. The actual derailment is another cause. The situation of the vinyl chloride is still another cause. You don't seem to realize that the theory of a planned event is implausible from consideration of the various impossible to coordinate physical events. But hope lives on. You would rather think that this is an attack, than accept it as an accident. (The poor government response is real enough, but that has no connection to the cause of the event. It is reflective of the need to maintain the luster of Mr. Buttigieg, and the disdain for "flyover country.")
But you missed my point completely. There are all kinds of flat-tire occurrences that happen in Ohio...or any state for that matter. They are simply random events, sometimes not serious, sometimes a killer. Does this mean that state X or state Y is under "flat tire attack"? No. It is laughable. Same thing here.
And the "boiler" in the foundry accident was a molten metal cauldron and a water jacket was being used as a thermal wall. The refractory lining failed and the water was exposed directly to the molten metal. A steam explosion ensued. No different in principle from any boiler explosion of the past century. (An anon pointed this out; I'm just cribbing from him.) This shows up in the most prosaic situations. In my metal shop class in junior high school, we were instructed in how to conduct lost-wax casting of molten aluminum, pouring into a mold made of diatomaceous earth. The instructor had an accident in which the diatomaceous earth was damp, formed steam when the ladle of molten aluminum was poured into the mold, and created a small geyser of molten aluminum. A blob burnt his shoe. Instructive anecdote to the students.
This is Planet Earth, where industrial accidents can happen and cause damage, injury, and death. The design of the Boeing 737 MAX was faulty and killed 346 people in two flights. Was that a murder conspiracy? No, it was merely bad judgement. Nobody was trying to kill anybody...but they misplaced their sense of priorities.
What planet did that come from?
