Butte Knit Fire July 7, 2012
Massive fire at the former Butte Knit plant, a division of Jonathan Logan, which closed in 1981. At one point, the smoke was so thick that passing cars on Business I-85 would have been completely obscured from view from the camera's perspective. Part of the Spartanburg Community College campus was closed due to fear of explosions from suspected stored chemicals. Indeed, an onlooker interviewed by SS claimed to have heard at least two such explosions.
