I just hope there aren't too many families, and especially children with tears in their eyes tonight!

I'm kinda glad I'm not working there anymore. On the other hand, I probably won't get called back there either.

My dad worked there in the early 60's for a bit.
I'm not sure exactly what he did. 'Hot and laborous in-doors', is all I know. Still, it would 'appear', (investigations started), that the propane blew outdoors, and not inside the foundery. I tell ya one thing, I'd be one nervous pup driving a propane truck into a place where sparks and hot slag can be 'anywhere at any time'. I hope this was truly an 'accident' as in the wrong spark that bounced out a door, to a fuel source instead of something they tie human error to.
Terrible that so many are out of work near there for the time being. It's odd, that such a facility never moved down on the tide flats away from homes, retail and wholesale outlets.
