You just stole someone else's pun from the other post about this. Are you proud?

Honestly? Yes. I'm going to go and push a few old ladies over later, this felt like a good warm-up.

I'm afraid its too late. It's a disease, we need to acure it. (it wasn't a salt pun)

Is anyone else surprised to find out that a salt factory is apparently just a brick building FULL of salt?
uzerok
It's probably just a salt storehouse.
RobotCosmonaut
I saw into one of those salt buildings that are shaped like Madonna's bra. Literally just a gigantic pile of salt inside.
SingingMeAndCthulioDownByRlyehFhtagn
I think OP tried to factor that in
ohmygodzilla
Yes!
davebaretta
Well, what did you expect?
farwall
I'm not surprised because this doesn't show that it is *just* a building full of salt, it just shows that they store salt in one part.
farwall
And the question then becomes "Is anyone surprised that a salt factory has some salt in it?" Na, I'm not.
wandergeist
The Tribune news report said it was a "storage facility" not a factory.
MrRgrs
I certainly am! It's like that simpsons scene at Kurt's work.
shaxgolgotha
I mean, I guess? I half expect "ACME" to be on the wall or something
TheSqeeek
They have a Morton salt mine out in the salt flats here in Utah, they don't even seem to use a building. Just chuck it all in huge piles.
Stuporman94
It happened somewhere near by. Saw it in the paper. Its a road salt facility.
swedishsquish
This particular incident is Morton's salt, the kind you buy as table salt.
lurker6
They do more than table salt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton_Salt
swedishsquish
Didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!
hihellogoodbye
This one? This is Mortons salt.
LineSnsy
There is no need for silos, way cheaper to just hold it in one room. Looks silly with one wall missing though.
Warranty
My exact thoughts! This is something a kid would think up.
Boooooooooognish
That doesn't seem entirely sanitary. What if there's salt-loving rodents getting in on in that bug nasty pile?
RelartOfGivia
There are no salt loving rodents.
khuan
The Salt Nutria is a serious problem in Illinois.
RobotCosmonaut
I'm assuming it's salt for the roads? At least I would hope so if they are storing it this way...
RelartOfGivia
It's Morton's. That's table salt.
RobotCosmonaut
Morton's does all kinds of salt, including salt for roads.
appletoad
What's worse is the food grade one in Long Beach it is directly next to a coal* plant it covers the bags in black soot and they occasionally
appletoad
Have piles out side. Source:worked there
SweetBabyJesus
We have them all over here. They look like giant tits & they're storage for road salt mix for when the roads freeze or it snows.
SoSpooky
"they look like giant tits" as ridiculous as it sounds I knew exactly what you meant by this.
shyriath
I'm actually so used to them looking like giant tits that the appearance of the one in the picture threw me off a little.

Those are the titties I'm talking about!
captainredbeard
I was also surprised by the lack of bricks on the ground. Where did that entire wall go? I see a few, but not many.
sros92
everybody wanted a piece of this pie, huh?
Reg06
Look at the roof. The wall and ceiling collapsed, rather than fell over. So the bricks are largely in one concentrated pile under the salt.
iwearabunnysuitthecleanroomkindnottheplayboykind
Beneath all the salt.
ThePunchline
Underneath the salt.
captainredbeard
I figured a good portion would be, I just expected, I dunno, for more to have fallen farther away from the building.
ThePunchline
Looking at the bricks still on the wall, it may have come down in one piece.
captainredbeard
I guess maybe it collapsed more straight downward instead of a big wall falling down cartoon style like I imagined. I'm disappointed now.
RelartOfGivia
The salt is covering them.
captainredbeard
I apologize for not realizing that the wall did not fall outward in one giant piece like in a cartoon like I imagined.
HerrBisch
I think the salt might have covered the bricks, did you gather that?
captainredbeard
I give you an upvote sir.
Delerak
It';s under the salt.
NigeBairen
The salt is over them.
vodoocc
.......
zytz
The salt is on top of them
captainredbeard
I understand this, I just thought the salt would have pushed more of the bricks farther away from the wall, especially if it had enough (1)
captainredbeard
Force to actually knock down the wall. (2)
LADYBUGS
Under all the salt.
captainredbeard
I figured most would. I dunno, I just thought that more would have fallen farther away for some reason. I guess it depends how the wall fell
BrumpoTungus
Shaka
Millillion
Wall fell and salt poured out over the wall bits?
captainredbeard
In my head I imagined the entire wall falling over like in a cartoon. I'm now saddened that this probably isn't the case...
