Great video : We had a very similar case in 2010 or 11, the whole plant building roof exploded. Fortunately nobody injured at it was midnight on a 31th July and only 2 guys were there but luckily behind a strong concrete wall that protected them : Root was Aluminium dust from a belt sanding process that got clogged into the evacuation fan system on the roof. And root of the root is that the old guys aware of the risks at maintenance had to go after the 2008 financial crisis ...

Same in sawmills etc with fine saw dust. Lack of basic cleaning.

shouldn't it be forseeable.... a large collection of aluminium dust...

50Gal drum of extremely fine Aluminum Dust fell off a Forklift and it took off like a Rocket. I’ve seen Sugar Plants explode and one of the Old Wooden Grain Elevators. Dust is scary stuff.
