Why is this happening so frequently?

Grain towers are highly explosive.

I live in farm region Indiana and I can tell you that those grain elevators are incredibly dangerous. What happens is the grain dust gets compressed and all it takes is a spark and that grain dust acts just like gun powder. It will blow 12" concrete walls out and send blocks flying quite a ways.

OP do a title change (or a mod). Very misleading title, we are not Yahoo.

Just like gun powder? Too bad you can't use it in a reloader.

Two firemen were killed a few years back when one exploded on a farm near here.
