DALLAS (AP) — More than three months after a Texas fertilizer plant exploded, killing 15 people and hurting hundreds, the state still has not started surveying blast injuries despite interest from state and federal officials.
Those officials say a survey of the injuries from the April explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. could help understand how many other people in the U.S. might be in similar danger, as well as provide a look at how the triage and trauma system worked that evening and advance research about blast injuries, the Dallas Morning News reported.
