the explosion

The final tally for the plant explosion is three dead and 46 injured. I think we're very lucky that only three people were killed. The headlines for the story now read like, "Father of two killed in blast." While going through the pictures of the Falk employees, it did seem kind of like they were family.

I don't imagine that it crosses your mind when you park your car in the morning, that an event like this will happen.

It's kind of strange, though, that this is such big news. "Factory accident kills three" hardly seems like national news. I think it's because it was such a physically stunning event. It broke windows a mile away. Cyn's office is over 40 blocks away, and it rocked her desk. It's not often that you experience an event like that.
