Too bad we don’t have a picture of when huge billows of black came out from the river side of the plant with a large panel of the building flapping out with the apparent explosion expelling it.
Someone who used to work there says this was coal dust (not ash) coming from the coal handling facility.
A boss would call the explosions that sometimes happened, “burps.”
I think the News-Miner once reported on one of these episodes after a dog-walker witnessed it and reported it.
Too bad also that we don’t have pictures of the sulfur that exceeded limits.

I remember when it blew up and tore a hunk of the building. I remember watching it on fire and walking over with my dad. He used to call it Chernobyl.
