Reply #10: That Sugar Refinery has been in Savannah since the 1930's.... [View All]

It's amazing that all of a sudden "dust" would have ignighted and caused such an incredible explosion.

Article sites a couple of OSHA violations but given what Bush has done to deregulate everything and cover up inspections, one would wonder if the plant had just deteriorated from lack of oversight during the Bush years.

My dad worked there in the 1930's. Came out of college (after working his way through) and the depression hit...so working there shoveling sugar was all he could find to do. That's why I know how long it's been there.

Really sad so many people burned and injured.
