Ummmmmm….
Footage shows explosions from factory fire on Auckland’s North Shore
A massive fire on Thursday evening has caused severe damage to a recycling charity premises and sent toxic smoke wafting across parts of Auckland’s North Shore.
…ok.
Look.
Love the company hiring disabled staff who are at the heart of this explosion.
We want to support companies that have a social licence like this.
They are a beautiful part of capitalism and long may companies that hire disabled people continue and gain our deserved support.
H-O-W-E-V-E-R
This is the North Shore, it is NOT Gaza.
Fireballs are things, best not to occur eh?
Like, yes, love the company hiring disabled staff – B-U-T Fireball over North Shore.
Can not emphasise that enough.
If whatever you are doing results in a ‘Fire Ball’, shit just got realzies eh?
No outcome should end in ‘Fire Ball’.
The enormous environmental damage this has caused hasn’t been calculated, the fact the Fire Fighting infrastructure broke down while they were trying to fight the fire and the fact this has all occurred in an area on the verge of residential dwellings all demand answers.
Again, love the company employing disabled people, but – fire ball.
We can all agree that the Fire Ball is not an acceptable outcome right?
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Martyn – Those poor devils in the basket that got stuck over the fire while fighting the fire…nightmare stuff
Hiring disabled staff with a minimum wage exemption, no love from this quarter.
Some might even say you get a fire ball on the shore because of the callous disregard for disabled peoples rights.
Totally agree as someone that has skin in the game. Nothing say exploitation more than a charity paying below minimum wage to subsidize normies.
Let’s think about the wider possibilities here. Toys can set a garage on fire when their little batteries over heat because they haven’t got an automatic turn-off, the temperature goes 3? degrees hotter than max allowed for in instructions etc etc We get offered things but everything now comes with a backdoor problem which might not get noticed. (Go to the market and buy a person-made and painted toy with a string to drag it around. If clever they might have put in a clacker that sounds as the wheels turn.) When one thinks – why wouldn’t the workshop go on fire considering the products that come on offer.
And what was that about green hydrogen? Our new energy provider,?
Green hydrogen …
Wide flammability range (4% to 75%), with abnormally high upper flammable limit – resulting in releases that will likely be flammable. May spontaneously ignite if released under high pressure (Reverse-Joule Thomson Effect). More susceptible to the transition from deflagration to detonation (DDT).12 Jun 2024

What is the best material for storing hydrogen?
Porous or layered carbon
Graphene can store hydrogen efficiently. The H2 adds to the double bonds giving graphane. The hydrogen is released upon heating to 450 °C. Hydrogen carriers based on nanostructured carbon (such as carbon buckyballs and nanotubes) have been proposed.
Hydrogen storage – Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Hydrogen_storage
What are the hazards of hydrogen storage?
Dangers posed by high-pressure and low-temperature storage conditions. Potential to penetrate small gaps or porous materials due to its small molecular size. Possibility of a flammable hydrogen cloud being trapped under rooftops or surrounding structures due to its buoyant nature.15 May 2024

Watch out for that reverse Joule-Thomson effect! Don’t leave home without your instruction app with all possible detrimental scientific results that may affect – we now believe in the freedom to experiment publicly and with no hindrance law which is coming, coming…
Battery fire cause, old vapes, batteries, for sure. ALL vape old their toke done are sent to a place in Aukland, hence the fire.
They shouldn’t be recycling Teslas any way.

Your news and headlines are being created by millennials who haven’t a feckin clue what a fire ball is and what causes it.
Thank god for Google and total clueless ignorance.
Oh clueless ignorance I wish I had that. Once you give it up and try going dry drunk all your psyche nerves get twitchy and occasionally this blog shows how stretched you can get, hoping that you don’t go !twang! But nurturing a sense of humour, books and music saves me.
I like this line from an Anne Perry book. A nasty man has been sent away for six years, but what will happen then someone asks, worried. Six years is a long time the reply comes, and anything can happen; we’ll just have to see that it does. Subtle stuff may help to carry us through. I say may. There is uncertainty, but you can’t count on it.
Peffft… Call that a fireball.
In Lyttelton in about the mid 1980’s I’d just gone back to bed after a pee at about 7.00 am when a service crew blew the lid off one of the huge petrol storage tanks down at the end of the harbour.
I’d just settled down into the arms of my sweetie and was dozing off when a huge explosion thumped into the house. It was also at about that time that relations with Russia were tenenus and there was a harbour full of Russian fishing boats in. I leaped , like a Gazelle, to the curtains to twitch them open to see a massive fireball rolling upwards. After some peering I realised what might have happened so I went back to bed to the sounds of sirens, horns, the revving of cars the screeching of tyres, there were dogs barking and all kinds of urgent shouting and yet, unbelievably, no one was hurt.
The service crew had been using a ventilating fan inside an all but empty tank to begin routine maintenance and a spark from that ignited idle fumes both in it and in me I can fucking tell you. I still remember the huge, rolling fire ball then hearing the deafening crash as the lid of the tank fell back to earth.
Another fun sound in Lyttelton was the detonators sometimes used there on the railway tracks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonator_(railway) They made all the difference to a sound night’s sleep. When I first heard those go off I thought it was a simple gang fight between the likes of the Head Hunters and the Epitaph Riders.
Aaahhhh… those were the days. When men were men, women were women and no one at all wore fluro vests and everyone drove around pissed and getting caught with an once of weed could get you years in jail.
The Killer White T-Cell: I remember the boom from the Lyttelton oil storage traveling across Christchurch.
Ah the good old days – bliss.
Yeah, not on the north shore. . . that stuff belongs where the poor people live. . . surely it should be Northland. . .
