CSB, other agencies no closer to finding cause of TX plant explosion
Blast blew debris 2 ½ miles
Nearly a month after the fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas that killed 14 people and injured another 200, investigators are still unable to determine the cause of the tragedy.
It’s not for lack of trying. The U.S. Chemical Safety Board – one of many agencies conducting an inquiry into the incident – has had a team of 18 investigators and other technical experts in West since the April 17 accident, conducting witness interviews and gathering documents and other evidence.
