Previously: Georgia: Some Residents Flee After BioLab Fire Starts Spreading Toxic Chemical Smoke
Is someone doing all of these chemical explosions on purpose?
Or is America just run by women and black people who are incapable of keeping these disasters from happening?
Scores of Georgia residents already reeling from Hurricane Helene have been grappling with fallout from another disaster over the past week: a chemical-plant inferno bathing their community in toxic gases.
The dangerous blaze ignited last Sunday — just days after the killer ‘cane slammed the state — at the BioLab plant in Rockdale County southeast of Atlanta, officials said.

That’s air and water affected.

The disaster, which was unrelated to the weather chaos, erupted when a malfunctioning fire-sprinkler head sprayed water on volatile chemicals, kicking off a chain reaction that ended in a sky-high eruption of multicolored toxic smoke, they said.
Seventeen thousand people were evacuated from the area, and around 90,000 more were ordered to shelter in place as an ominous smoke column loomed over the county and spewed chlorine gas throughout the week.
County authorities have extended the stay-at-home order through this past weekend as HAZMAT teams worked to contain the “continued reaction,” BioLab said on its website.
The poisonous inferno was the third fire that has broken out in the Rockdale plant, county fire Chief Marian McDonald told reporters.
Now the feds are investigating BioLab for possible corner-cutting – and not for the first time.
“We are sending investigators to the site to determine the cause of this dangerous incident and the safety gaps at the facility that allowed this huge fire to occur,” said Steve Owens, chairman of the US Chemical Safety Board.
Maybe “corner-cutting” explains it.
The US government refuses to regulate businesses in this country. They only regulate freedom of people and religion.
