What makes grain bins/silos particularly dangerous?

223 views

I live in an area where grains are a big part of the agricultural industry and I frequently see story lines like [this one here](https://www.kait8.com/2022/11/22/crews-responding-grain-bin-rescue/). What makes these storage units and/or the grain inside them so dangerous?
