GARNER, N.C. (AP) - Federal investigators are planning to enter
a sprawling Slim Jim snack plant in North Carolina and look for a
cause of the explosion that killed three workers and injured scores
of others.
A spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives said Friday that investigators are interested in the
center of the damaged building in Garner. Structural engineers were
able to get safely inside the ConAgra Foods Inc. building through
the less-damaged back side Thursday.
Spokesman Earl Woodham also said that despite reports that
employees smelled propane gas, it isn't a focus. He says there is a
propane system in the plant but it isn't the "main culprit."
