Has the numbers on those deaths beens confirmed? I've seen some mumblings on Twitter that the sheer space required to house 18000 heads in any useful capacity would require something more akin to a tactical nuke to get everything, with one post bringing up a different dairy farm which needed 10 separate barn structures in order to house & milk their 30k herd.

But yeah, I don't know about US, but here it would require multiple buildings covering football fields to house that many animals. It's tricky to grasp the reason for those numbers.
- dmbche 4y agoThe article mentions the cows were huddled together on the way to being milked, and there were no human victim - they seemingly corral everyone in a single pen prior to milking, where the explosion occured.
