This sounds scary and crazy! Where did the spill come from?

Wait, I just went and watched a video news clip from Wlwt about the incident and they said a semi was carrying the graphite and when it slammed on its brakes it caused the graphite to spill out onto the roadway.

SirensAndSideEyesJul 26 at 7:33 AM

I’m confused as to why there’s not attention being brought to this. Who spilled the graphite? Were these citizens and workers warned it’s hazardous to breathe in graphite? Was this dry powder or a liquid mixture? There’s so many unanswered questions here to something that definitely needs answered.
