Happened a day ago, they are saying upwards of 18,000 cows were killed. That's crazy!
Kind of what I thought!18 THOUSAND cows in ONE barn?!!!
This morning on ag news, the local officials hypothesized that a piece of machinery got over heated and ignited methane gas.Happened a day ago, they are saying upwards of 18,000 cows were killed. That's crazy!
They already have.Seems like scientists/inventors should figure out a way to capture the methane and use it for the greater good.
Proable when all of the report is out it will be found that there was a methane collection at the farm and the machinery that moves the gas around to the farm malfunctioned. Methane collection systems is pretty prevelant around the larger farms.Seems like scientists/inventors should figure out a way to capture the methane and use it for the greater good.
I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like there were ventilation issues. I would expect some lawsuits to follow on behalf of employees. If a machine will light the air on fire, the air quality was not good for humans, either. I'm surprised they do not have alarms checking air quality. OSHA is about to destroy them.Proable when all of the report is out it will be found that there was a methane collection at the farm and the machinery that moves the gas around to the farm malfunctioned.

Sounds like a ventilation thing to me as well.I was thinking the same thing. Sounds like there were ventilation issues. I would expect some lawsuits to follow on behalf of employees.

In O&G we have a deadly gas called H2S. A company we used to help treat our gas also treated the San Antonio sewer system. They have to follow the same protocols as every one else because of the gasses, including h2s, in deadly quantities, in the sewer system.
Already cooked!Damn, wish I'd been there, they couldn't have all been too messed up to do some carving on.
