And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Grain elevator collapsing, followed by grain dust ignition
My dad lost a childhood friend when they were working on sweeping out rice silos in Louisiana. No grain, just dust. Boom. Friend, silo, gone. He said it sounded like a 500lb bomb going off (he should know, used to fly F84Gs.)
He was always edgy during lighting storms for that reason.
I hope nobody was in that truck...........
ReplyDeleteMy thought was that the truck is likely beyond salvage.
