Senate panel will investigate fertilizer plant explosion
-One of many inquiries into the tragedy
U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer said this week that the Environment and Public Works Committee she chairs will investigate the devastating West, Texas fertilizer plant explosion that killed 14 people – many of them first responders – on April 18th.
The Chemical Safety Board (CSB), EPA and OSHA are also looking into the tragedy, whose cause is still unknown. Inquiries are also being made by a Texas state House committee and the state panel on Homeland Security and Public Safety.
