I don't think we had a thread for infrastructural and industrial disasters.

The buried lead here is the "national talkshow conservative" Jesse Kelly thinks foreign conspiracy rather than domestic stupidity. NPR reports it is a former industrial manufacturing site now used to store recycleable plastic. It was a known fire hazard, and the owners were under notice to remediate the site.

We may never know the cause of the fire, but an investigation will occur, and I'm reasonably certain we won't find international saboteurs intent on destroying America's manufacturing ability in Indiana and Ohio.

I blame the wholesale attack on “government regulations“ promulgated by Republicans (mainly) and the Orange Disaster particularly.
The bitterest truth is more wholesome than the sweetest lie.
