Could be edgy employee's, a possible test to the reaction of personnel by an external threat...false flag?
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. (WHNT) – Workers in the Missile Defense
Agency’s Von Braun III, Building 5224, were evacuated Tuesday morning
after someone found a powdery substance.
Colonel John Hamilton, Garrison Commander of Redstone Arsenal, said
an employee brought the substance in and it somehow spilled on the
floor. The woman was taken to the hospital as a precaution but wasn’t
showing any negative effects from it.
Another employee noticed it and called security.
Colonel Hamilton said forensic teams tested the substance and
determined it to be non-toxic, but he did not specify what the substance
was.
Colonel Hamilton said the Arsenal hopes to have everyone back in
Building 5224 by Wednesday morning, but that is not confirmed yet.
Employees in the building were authorized an excused absence earlier in the day.

"Do Not Drink" order for hundreds in North GA, FBI investigating
Could this be another attack against our infrastructure?
This act is NOT just some prank by a couple of conniving youth looking for kicks on a Saturday night. No one local would break into the local treatment plant to alter the chemical settings to an unsafe level. My question is what level of complexity is the control system of the chemical treatment system.
(video at link)
CHATSWORTH, GA (WRCB) - Hundreds of people in one north Georgia town are not allowed to drink their water.
The water treatment plant in Ramhurst is temporarily shut down after someone broke in and changed the chemical settings.
It's affecting about 400 Murray County residents. Local, state and federal officials are investigating who's to blame. Officials with Chatsworth Water Works say the source of the problems is at the Carter's Lake Water Treatment Plant in the Ramhurst area.
Saturday workers noticed someone had changed some chemical settings. First, officials issued a "boil advisory" but the Environmental Protection Department bumped it up to a total "do not drink" order and shut down the plant until they're certain it's safe for the public to consume. It could be a few more days.

Another Explosion...
Interesting...
A certain amount of industrial accidents are expected during a year's time, even in a nation that has regular safety checks and stringent safety regulations, but this is getting ridiculous.
So many industrial incidents, on such a level? I mean, we should certainly expect smaller incidents almost weekly across the nation, but these most recent incidents are fairly major on the scale.
200,000lbs of Ammonia Nitrate explodes in West, TX fertilizer plant, Six fuel barges explode in Mobile, AL on the Mobile River, Shootout at Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant in TN...dotted with other smaller incidents across the nation, primarily transformers or sub-stations.
The smaller incidents could be chalked up to dilapidated systems, overloads, ect..., however I'm not so quick to do that. Accidents do happen, but with the recent events, these should have some form of investigation preformed, just to rule out possible foul play by terror cells.
A tank containing diesel fuel has exploded during maintenance work at Marathon Detroit Refinery, forcing a mandatory evacuation order for a nearby area. One employee has been injured in the blast, authorities said.
Reports of the explosion and fire came in just before 6 pm local time.
Authorities on the ground say the explosion injured an employee. The incident occurred during a maintenance check.
Marathon spokesman Shane Pochard tells the Detroit Free Press the small fire Wednesday morning was extinguished quickly and the worker had minor injuries.

Is Our National Infrastructure Under Attack?
Since the Boston Bombing everyone has been on edge, but is it a far fetched idea that we truly could be under attack? Possibly North Korea, Iran, Syria, ect...? A Terror Group? PLO, Black September, Hamas, Al Qaeda, ect...?
3/26 Ravensdale, WA: Huge Transformer Explosion Causes Power Outages
4/04 Bartow Country, GA: Explosion at Georgia Power Coal Fire Plant
4/06 Oklahoma City, OK: Explosion In Downtown OKC Caused By Transformer Failure
4/15 Boston, Mass: Marathon Bombing
4/ 17 West, Texas: Fertilizer Plant Explosion
4/17 Sugarcreek Boro, PA: Substation Explosion Cuts Power To Venango County Residents
4/17 Jefferson County, OH: Crews Respond To Transformer Fire At Cardinal Power Plant
4/21 Spring City, TN: Shots Fired At TVA Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant
4/25 Mobile, AL: Multiple Explosions On Fuel Barge
The shootout at Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant is most concerning, it could be a possible incident of a terror group preforming a reconnaissance for a future target.
The other incidents themselves don't point directly to terrorist activities, but it is something to keep an eye open over. National Infrastructure is a primary target for terrorists or foreign aggressors alike.
