It made CNN

Quote :

"CNN) -- Workers were believed trapped after the roof collapsed Tuesday at a food plant near Raleigh, North Carolina, CNN affiliate WRAL-TV reported. Part of a collapsed ConAgra Foods plant lies atop parked cars Tuesday in Garner, North Carolina. The incident happened Tuesday morning at the Garner, North Carolina, ConAgra Foods plant. Garner Mayor Ronnie Williams said authorities told him that 12 to 15 plant workers were injured by ammonia fumes, WRAL reported. Other workers suffered chemical burns, he said. Video from the scene showed a makeshift triage area that first responders set up near the plant. A section of the roof was collapsed, and pipes could be seen spewing liquid ammonia. ConAgra Foods is a leading food company whose brands include Healthy Choice, Chef Boyardee and Orville Redenbacher. "

I went there back in 2000 or 2001. I didn't realize they were still making Slim Jims there.

6/9/2009 1:48:16 PM

It looks like the slim jims snapped into them.

Too soon?

6/9/2009 2:24:15 PM

Horse Gravy works there


I hope he's ok

6/9/2009 4:03:10 PM

we on national tv, was anyone watching WRAL when they had that dude in a buzz cut give a hilarious run down of what happened.
that was about 2:30pm

the guy would be telling the story then lose his thought saying "where was i going with this"
and constantly confusing what part of the building he worked in
then after he got done talking for 10 minutes about how the explosion was on the opposite end of the building from where he worked, they cut him off to say that it was in the part where he was working

then there was awkwardness wondering if this dude was making this all up, lol

6/10/2009 5:29:26 AM

:-( My dad and my brother work there... And they were both in the building when the ceiling caved in :-( But they got out ok. My brother called me seconds after it happened and told me he saw some dude's arm blown off :-( My dad was really close to one of the ceilings that caved in.

Two confirmed dead ( my dad knew) and one still missing :-(

My brother worked there for only 2 days!

6/10/2009 9:45:01 AM

Man... I had a dream once my brother died and I was worthless to the world that day... I cant imagine what would happen if he would have gotten hurt yesterday...
