[Russia] Truck transporting flour crashes into a building (POWDER POOF!)

Lucky it wasn't raining, could have been a real sticky mess. Camcar driver was lucky too, if he had been a second or two earlier he would probably be tboned and dead too
 
I'm reminded of an entertainer whose act involved exploding a piano. He didn't think the effect was spectacular enough, so he put a load of flour inside the piano to make it look more dramatic. It did. The explosion dispersed the flour into the air making it easily combustible. The explosion was huge.

Aha found this:

Lucky there wasent a flame and the flour / air mixture wasent at critical mass, mills / custard factories and what not have been known to blow up.

As mythbusters so fine illustrated with ther creamer cannon, a lot of things can go wrong with powder in the air and a ignition source.

I have even heard it in small scale where i was working with powdercoating, on the automated line 8 guns was active in 1 booth, and then a spark jumped due to bad grounding of the things hanging on the conveyor above.
The painter in the booth was blown out and down the 1 M or so stair up to the booth, and that in spite of both ends of the paint booth was wide open.

Who needs 360º cameras in Russia? There are always footage from every possible and imaginary angles! 😀
 
It reminded me of the streets surrounding the WTC on 9/11, when the first tower collapsed. 🙁
