Oooh! This is the 10th deadliest bridge disaster that we know of! I’ve been obsessed with disasters since I was a little girl, and it’s gross how some of the top 10 were caused by corporate greed…

Don’t even get me started on deadliest factory incidents or mining disasters. I could go on forever.

I was surprised when I heard about a sugar factory exploding. I had no idea if there was enough sugar particles in the air then it could ignite.

You can do a super fun science experiment at home (custard powder is commonly used but icing sugar might work) to demonstrate this.

Oh neat. I might regret finding out about that later. 😂
