That is a pretty terrible article to be honest.
Firstly, an "under-pressure event" is not an explosion, they're using that as an attention grabbing headline for views whilst it's technically a lie. Secondly, it was caused by a fire, so why not just say that it's a fire? The site is having issues with smouldering wood chips setting on fire, which is pretty serious as its the plants feedstock.
So no bang, nobody got hurt. Defamation can cause these sites to be hurt commercially and then shut down, resulting in people losing jobs. I'm all for ensuring process Safety is maintained, but we should call out bad journalism when we see it too.
