Darn, I can’t find a suitable image, but, back in the early 20th century, films used to open with a full cast list, and then, at the end of the film, they would show them again, under a header saying, “A Good Cast Bears Repeating”. I guess that, in this case, a bad cast bears repeating… though, it is a bad extrusion, so I guess that the point is moot.

Ah, what we call a Reboing.
Doubtful anything just like this would have happened twice. (?)

Five firefighters were called to the plant and for hours worked at the scene to contain the blaze.
That number seems low.

The fire suppression system was kind of a joke. WTH?
I can’t tell, but just before the place blew and the guy runs to his desk to retrieve something…was it his weed?

Maybe a misprint for five appliances/engines?
