    rather than the FBI for their clear incompetence?

    The article has not stated who was responsible for operation of the facility.

    It’s more likely the responsibility was on the staff to ensure the equipment at their own facility was functioning right

    This sort of error should have been covered by prior operation licensing checks, a facility with an incinerator on premises shouldn’t have negative pressure issues

    So something somehow caused a negative pressure issue.

    Usually the culprit is some kind of exhaust fan being run, or a door being left open too long

    Based on time of year and how hot out it is, I wonder if a staff member left a door propped open or something.

    Incinerator systems need positive pressure overall.

    Anyone who lives in the north and has a gas based furnace heating system knows how deadly negative air pressure can be…

      What makes that the more likely scenario? It seems to me the more likely scenario is that the FBI is responsible for this considering, as far as we know, this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

      I can just picture some dick swinging Kash Patel sycophant demanding control over the incinerator since they were handling controlled substances. Its just like the L.A. police who raided a medical imaging facility looking for drugs, had their rifles sucked into an MRI machine, and then destroyed it by hitting the emergency stop button. Police always think they know best in all situations.

        Because it’s their facility

        this facility has never had this issue until the FBI showed up to commandeer their incinerator.

        Says who?

        For all we know they’ve had issues everytime they incinerate but they ignored it cuz a lil bit of smoke from 1 cat is way easier to shrug off compared to a huge amount of meth

        It’s very possible they just have been ignoring the problem because normal smoke from incineration a very small cadaver isn’t a big deal, whereas meth fumes are extremely toxic and not something you can just shrug off

        Lord knows I’ve worked with workers who have the “I’ve been doing it this way for 10 years and never had an issue, don’t be a pussy” type of attitude too

        So hard to say, without more info it’s basically just us speculating.

          I can agree with this. Either one of our “most likely scenarios” is just speculation.
