Seven minutes of monotone narrator and watching sugar flow through a semi-opaque tube. Have we surpassed TIMBER BRIDGE INSPECTION yet?

Actually, this is an important safety video for those in the refining business. Older methods of moving sugar by conveyor belts sometimes (like grain elevators, fertilizer, or any other fine particulate organic matter) could explode with devastating results.

Don't believe sugar can explode?

Go to the Chemical Safety Board website at:

and search on Imperial Sugar, and download and play the video.
