Ramsey County warns about trespassing on ammunition plant site 17.5.2013 MinnPost
Ramsey County officials say that demolition has begun on old buildings at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant property in Arden Hills and warn that old buildings and live electrical wires can be a hazard. So, they say: No trespassing. It's dangerous out there. This is the old ammunition plant site that was once considered a location for a new Vikings stadium. But now, the county is cleaning up the 427-acre site to prepare it for possible other non-Vikings development. Ramsey County spokesman Art Coulson says trespassing has been a problem at the site for some time, although not so much since the county took possession.

Texas fire investigators to release findings on West blast that killed 14 15.5.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
State and federal agents still conducting interviews with first- responders in effort to find out exactly what happened last month When they saw 30ft flames licking the sky inside a massive fertilizer plant, firefighters in the tiny Texas town of West rushed to evacuate nearby buildings and raced to spray water on tanks of chemicals, hoping to prevent a catastrophe. They were concerned with preventing toxic gas from leaking out of the facility and drifting into nearby homes. The plant soon exploded into a deadly fireball and lay waste to much of the community. Four weeks after the blinding blast, investigators have yet to announce not only what started the fire and touched off the explosion, but precisely what happened in those frenzied moments before 14 people were killed. They are especially interested in the town's volunteer fire crews, who may not have been fully aware of the dangers they faced. Did they know about the potential for an explosion? Were they trained to prevent one? ...
