Original Note:
Explosive dust is a known hazard with grain handling. The mechanism that causes dust to explode is well-known and it is the same mechanism that makes Thermobaric weapons work. When a missile hits a grain silo, it causes the grain dust to ignite causing an explosion. https://www.feedandgrain.com/grain-handling-processing/grain-facility-management/article/15386316/addressing-combustible-dust-hazards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_explosion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermobaric_weapon#Mechanism
