By Staff
September 17, 2023

This story is developing...
 
UPDATE: The event appears to be at Radius Recycling, reports WRBL. Large flames and smoke can be seen coming from behind the Schnitzer plant [steel recycling].
 
UPDATE: The explosions seems to be located near 712 Tenth Ave, Columbus, GA.
 
Massive explosions from a possible factory fire rocked Columbus, GA this evening.
 
The development comes in a long string of infrastructure, and factory fires/explosions over the last year across the United States. The Biden administration has been silent on this issue.
 
The fires in California/Canada/Maui have also been very suspicious.
 
The Georgia Record will work to find answers and has a reporter on the ground in Columbus this evening.

Another key U.S. infrastructure installation has gone up in flames as Radius Recycling in Columbus, Ga., EXPLODED over the weekend

09/18/2023
Ethan Huff

It seems like every other day we are reporting on another key piece of United States infrastructure that has exploded or gone up in flames, with the latest incident occurring at Radius Recycling, formerly known as Schnitzer Steel, in Columbus, Ga.
According to reports that are still developing, large flames and smoke were seen coming from behind a steel recycling plant, located at 712 Tenth Ave. in Columbus.
 
WTVM reported that Columbus Fire & EMS arrived on the scene quickly to deal with a fire at the facility. Fire Chief John Shull says no injuries or bystanders have been reported.
 
The intersection of Jackson Ave. and Victory Dr., along with most of Cussetta Rd., had to be closed off due to the explosion and fire. As of now, there is no clear indication as to what caused the fire and explosion.
 
(Related: There was also another train "accident" this past week in Nebraska that resulted in the release of perchloric acid, prompting area evacuations.)
 
Prior to fire, Radius Recycling was named "world's most sustainable company"
 
About a month prior to this incident, Radius Recycling was named the world's most sustainable company.
 
The $2.5 billion company with "more than a century's expertise in metals recycling," to quote Forbes' Karen Walker, is one of North America's largest manufacturers and exporters of recycled metal products.
 
"... the company's integrated operating model advances a circular economy where metals never become waste and are redesigned into new products," Walker explained in the piece.
 
Originally known as The Alaska Junk Company before being renamed Schnitzer, and again later renamed Radius Recycling, the company was founded in 1906 by a Russian immigrant named Sam Schnitzer who saw value in recycling metals. Today, the company is a component of the Russell 2000 Index, boasting around 3,500 employees.
 
"Many people don't understand the vital role of metal in society and civilization. The use of metal and the rise of civilization are highly correlated," stated Tamara Lundgren, the chairwoman, president and CEO of Radius Recycling.
 
"For example, steel is the most recycled commodity in the world. There's more steel recycled every year than glass, paper, plastic and wood combined. Unlike paper, which ultimately dissipates once recycled too many times, steel can be recycled infinitely."
 
Interestingly, Radius Recycling also recycles nonferrous metals such as copper and aluminum, two metals that are increasingly vital as the world transitions to "low-carbon" technologies.
 
The timing of this fire and explosion, as well as the nature of Radius Recycling's business, is highly suspicious seeing as how there has been a string of mysterious fires and explosions occurring at vital components of the United States infrastructure for the past several years now.
 
Radius Recycling boasts facilities that it says are run by net-carbon-free electricity, having reduced its "greenhouse gas" emissions by 24 percent since 2019. Just last year, the company introduced net-carbon-zero GRN Steel products, which are carbon offsets and renewable energy credits that address manufacturing emissions.
 
"The transition to low-carbon technologies and its success is linked to our ability to recycle metals," Lundgren boasted in the past.
 
"The low-carbon technologies, like electric vehicles and solar and wind power, are all more metal-intensive and Radius makes some of the world's lowest carbon, net-carbon-free steel."
 
It is concerning that not only has there been no explanation provided as of yet for the string of other mysterious fires and explosions that have occurred in recent months, but also that this particular recycling company plays such a critical role in America's "sustainable" future.

Not that I've heard thus far... and it's been several weeks now.

I also don't see much from the liberal news media either... it's mainly local news that have carried the story, but with such a large fire, one would think that most media would carry the story! Which in itself is strange because they don't!!!

Maybe they don’t want to blame batteries. It’s possible that was the cause.

Green is not as green as the Democrats are selling it to be. 

But hey... nothing the Democrats have tried to sell us on has ever been anything they claimed.

Trump didn't collude with Russia.

Trump didn't pull a quid pro quo on Ukraine.

Trump didn't cite an insurrection on Jan 6th. 

Trump didn't cheat on his taxes.

Global warming isn't what they're claiming it is.

Global cooling isn't what they're claiming it is.

Climate change isn't what they're claiming it is.

And Green Energy isn't all that they're trying to make it up to be either!

They have been wrong on ALL accounts... not 99%... but wrong on all 100% of their false claims.

Lithium Ion batteries rape our land of resources to manufacture and then cause fires that take much more time and water to put out when they catch fire. 

This factory cost over 3,000,000 gallons of water over a 4 day period of time to put out. 3 million gallons of water and 4 days to put the fire out. That's an abnormal fire. The same holds true for EV cars and EV bikes/scoters as well.

Less than 10% of cars are EVs. People either don’t want them or can’t affford them.
