Although homes have been rebuilt and a new high school is up and running, the town of West, Texas hasn’t been able to close the terrible chapter of its history that began on April 17, 2013 – the day that an explosion at the West Fertilizer company killed 15 people and leveled dozens of buildings.
After announcing a year ago that the fire that began the tragedy was intentionally set, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has made no arrests in the case. A spokesman at the time said all possible causes, both accidental and natural, were investigated before investigators reached that conclusion.
