Ohio was an “Uncontrolled burn” which is why it created a toxic cloud

   Yes, this was definitely an uncontrolled burn… sometimes the authorities will will use word games used quell fears.

   In a carefully controlled burn, there would be nearly complete combustion/oxidation of all organic compounds, with very little smoke/soot (carbon particulates).
   This can only be achieved by limiting the rate of release of the chemical via metering through a small diameter orifice, and providing excess air/oxygen at the base of the flame and around the flame.

   Considering the risk of a potential explosion, I can understand the time pressure and the need to do an uncontrolled burn to quickly mitigate this risk.

   Pretty obvious. You might think a “journalist”, when reporting on a “controlled burn” would find out what a “controlled burn” is! These past few years have shown how important real journalism is, and how much its absence harms society.
