Yikes, this place was a foundry so you can imagine flying molten metals and debris. Scary stuff.
According to News5 Cleveland, one person was killed, and more than a dozen injured when the I. Schumann & Co, brass and alloy manufacturer plant exploded. Video footage shows the aftermath {Direct Rumble Link}
News5 – Authorities responded to a manufacturing business near Bedford Monday afternoon after a massive explosion caused fires and blew debris over neighboring businesses, streets and cars. Multiple injuries have been reported.
It happened at I. Schumann & Co., located in the 22500 block of Alexander Road in Oakwood. The business is a brass and bronze alloy manufacturer.
The company released the following statement about the explosion:
“An explosion of unknown origin struck our Bedford, Ohio facility today resulting in injuries to employees and significant damage to the facility. Our efforts now are focused on supporting the first responders who came on scene quickly to help our employees. The safety and health of our employees is our top priority and we commit to ensuring they receive the medical care they need. We will work alongside investigators in their search for answers as part of our commitment to Northeast Ohio where we have been operating for more than 100 years. Our thoughts and prayers are with our team members and their families at this difficult time.”
It’s unclear what caused the explosion. Witnesses told News 5 there were two explosions. A small explosion happened first, and a second, stronger one happened around 2:30 p.m.
Authorities said there were multiple burn victims taken from inside the plant to a nearby hospital. One person was taken by LifeFlight helicopter and flown to a hospital for treatment. There were at least 14 people injured in the explosion. One person, a 46-year-old man, has died, according to the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Oakwood Fire Department officials said the cause of the explosion is under investigation but called the facility a “relatively safe plant.” (read more)
There has been a rash of multiple industrial fires and explosions in the past few weeks, including the train derailment of toxic chemicals in nearby Palestine, Ohio.
Induction furnace, Refractory runout causing a steam explosion when the molten metal cut into the cooling leads.
They do process nickel and cobalt both require elevated melt temps
Perhaps many of the fires at processing plants, chicken farms may have been caused by hacking their “smart thermostats”. Raising the temps so high that a malfunction occurs and explosion or fire. Destroy food processing plants and affect the supply chain. Prepare and help your neighbors prepare.
I believe it is industrial sabotage. 100%.
There are no coincidences.
We are on our own.
Prepare accordingly.
Too many incidents recently especially regarding food processing facilities. The infrastructure is under attack.
My heart had a sickening feeling seeing those men walk towards the first, smaller explosion. I sat here at home, knowing something worse was about to happen, and whispered with tears in my eyes, RUN!
May God have mercy on us.
It’s the moth to a flame syndrome.
27 years around similar furnaces and I have seen at least 20 of this type accident.
Poor judgement on refractory lining…super heating the melt…management pushing for more output was always the cause.
It isn’t sabotage or Chinese agents
Prayers for the family of the man lost
How do you know it isnt sabotage?
Sorry – I don’t believe any “rational” explanation for these incidents. They are totally planned and executed by evil forces. End of story.
Bull Sheet. It certainly is all planned. Too many of these so called ‘accidents’ have happened over time for them NOT to be planned. How many food factories so far? How many others in other industries with normally good safety records?
The plant dealt in metal alloys, and some involved lead. The possibility of lead contamination should be investigated.

“Unrestricted Warfare.” However it is our own fault. We don’t secure our border and we have allowed Chinese nationals access to our most sensitive secrets when we are not outright handing over our national security to them. This has been going on for multiple decades.
Unrestricted warfare….
How long before all these sabotage events are blamed on Putin and Russia?
Train derailments. Food processing plants. Chicken farms.
What’s next? Bridges and tunnels being blown up?
Wrong, they will all be blamed on Guess Who? TRUMP. That is the go to blame game for them still. It was all done by Trump people.
After Nord Stream 2 these local ops are small potatoes for the Øbama teams.
After years in managing construction workers, I’ve reached the opinion sabotage only requires not paying attention to your workers for any length of time. With automation, and an attitude it’s working correctly, all kinds of mayhem can happen due to inexperience and ignorance. When the older employees leave, the wisdom goes with them
So true. The younger generations have no common sense and don’t care about anything except their phones. Of course there are exceptions – I know a few. But the vast majority are automatons.
Asymmetric warfare?
Is China using Directed Energy weapons from Satellites or places within the Country. I think these are deliberate attacks with unknown weapons made to look accidental.
I say this because there is that huge train with filled tankers sitting in farm country NW of San Fran. Hundreds of Tankers miles just waiting to blow and pretend the detonation was an “Accident” killing every cow, horse, pig, chicken, deer, fish for a hundred miles.
There are plenty of crazy Dems to carry out these evil deeds
