Four killed in Mo. when hot water tank went airborne
The efforts of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) investigators to determine the cause of last week’s fatal workplace explosion in St. Louis, Missouri have been hampered by the facility’s lack of structural integrity, which have made it too dangerous to inspect in the days after the incident.
Four people were killed when a hot water storage tank at Loy-Lange Box Co. exploded through the company’s roof and went airborne, flying 500 feet before crashing into an office at Faultless Linen, killing three people there. The fourth fatality was at Loy-Lange.
