Tonu That relates well to the sugar factory explosion last week. I haven't seen any details. My bet is that it was sugar dust hitting an ignition source. (most folks don't think of sugar as being a flammable hydrocarbon). I have even heard of folks trying to put out grease fires by throwing in sugar, with disastrous results. Water, flour are also bad news. Salt does work.
