Thanks for this suggestion - I've covered a few food-related disasters (like the Boston Molasses Flood), but never a dust explosion before. Have added it to the list!

Seen this one on Reddit, sounds like something you've covered before but I couldn't find it - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Georgia_sugar_refinery_explosion?wprov=sfla1 2008 Dust explosion, killed 14, injured 40
