Blast After Blast

This episode will cover a tragic event that took place in July of 1954 in Chestertown, MD.  This event brought to life the dangers that those who work in manufacturing plants, especially when explosives are involved, face every day.  It will also demonstrate why accident investigations are so important and what happens when those investigations fall short of a resolution, leaving everyone who works in those industries at the mercy of a hidden danger.
