Louisville plant explosion

Apparently this was the cause. When a company is satisfied with with maintenance jerry rigging repairs, sadly this is the end result.

One of their cooks has ammonia in the recipe.

When the residents around the neighborhood in which the plant is located smelled ammonia after the explosion, I'll take their word for it. It's shoddy maintenance. Facility already had an explosion in 2003. They'll bulldoze it.

They also had folks shelter in place temporarily due to the smell (several folks reported ammonia odor, the r/Louisville Reddit also had a bunch of posts about it).

I lived in the Highlands (not far from the location) for the 2003 explosion. There was also a chemical leak in the 90s.

This one blew out the windows of a coffee shop around the corner.

The biggest kicker is the company claimed everyone was accounted for and they found a man that died in the explosion later. They need to be bulldozed and moved out of the area. It’s a highly populated residential area.
