A Little Known Fact About The Waco Fertilizer Plant Explosion

How's this for some trivia? The last time the Texas Fertilizer Plant in Waco, where an explosion took place on April 17, which killed fifteen people, was inspected by OSHA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, was in 1985. The plant was called West Chemical & Fertilizer Company, and they were fined $30.00 for unsafe storage of anhydrous amonia. After that, Texas figured that OSHA did not need to reinspect, because the company had most assuredly learned it's lesson and was in compliance. Absolutely.
