A 3rd 🧵(and probably final) on the #Dmitrievsky #chemicalplant explosion and fire. I spoke with two former team members who have worked at plants like this in the US, and was introduced to a new friend who did a site visit/QC/Process Inspection at this plant in 2012.
All three are not twitter people. All three work in the industry. One at F100 firm, the others at smaller chem-firms. All have read my summary and agree it is fair. They also, like me, are sort of surprised at the level of interest here on this subject. Nice for folks to care.
First - this is very large facility and looking at @Maxar images together we agree it is badly damaged, but not destroyed. The shipment, storage and blending facilities seem intact, but the fire has clearly destroyed one of - perhaps the - most important part of the plant.

A 🧵on the #Dmitrievsky #Chemical Plant explosion and fire. On @Twitter I mostly post on Data Security (20year as a CxO and #Votehacking. But I also have 9 years as CEO and longer on BODs of #AdvancedMaterials / #NanoMaterials.
The extreme damage, perhaps total destruction of this chemical plant is going to have a spectacular and massive impact on the #RussianArmy. Possibly grinding entire systems to a stop in weeks, perhaps even days.
Like many industrial sectors in #Russia, they tend to be centralized, massive + singular. This is generally a result of historic centralization of production under the Soviet model, and a fear of building massive high-cost infrastructure by nonRU firms #BASF #DuPont etc.
