true is literally blown away. The

ness section. and some private houses
were similarly damaged

be known, as the only eye witnesses
were hurled 10 eternity without warn
ing and with no chance Of escape
There were no workmen in the i'm
MEDIATE vicinity. and the foreman Of
the mixing room. Charles Kamiski
left the building about ten minutes
before the explosion to get orders for
the day. When Kamiski departed. the
machinery was standing idle the men
