Explosion kills at least four Silver Taps planned
Associated Press
MILWAUKEE, Mich. — Rescue
workers located a fourth body early
today in the wake of an explosion that
ripped through a 225-foot grain stor
age elevator, Saginaw County offi
cials said.
The blast on Thursday left 10
others injured. One man remained
missing. Officials believe he is dead
and buried under a section of one of
the silo’s reinforced concrete walls
which collapsed in the explosion.
The cause of the blast at the grain
storage complex, operated by Farm
Bureau Services, was not known.
However, grain dust in elevators
sometimes explodes.
The force of the explosion threw
pieces of concrete, some of them four
feet long, as far as one quarter of a
mile, observers reported.
Saginaw County sheriffs deputies
said rescue workers could see the
body of Roger Homey buried under
debris. They listed no home town or
age for the dead man.
Rescue workers said it could take
the rest of the day to remove the
body from the wreckage and find the
missing man among the rubble.
One of the survivors of the blast
was trapped for 13 hours in the wrec
kage before rescuers could free him.
Workers used cranes and a
helicopter to help in the search for
bodies and injured. One injured man
was plucked to safety as he clung to
the wreckage of a wall left standing
after the blast. Three other workers
walked away from the explosion with
minor cuts.
Larry Fess, 24, of Linwood, was
pinned for more than 13 hours in the
debris of the wrecked structure
while doctors and rescue workers
tried to comfort and reassure him.
He was in shock after being removed
from the rubble, suffering from the
cold. The temperature was just three
degrees above zero about the time
he was freed.
“He is buried under tons and tons
of concrete,” ambulance attendant
John Malzahn, 24, said before Fess
was freed. “All you can see is his
head, his neck and one arm.”
“There were bodies all over the
place and apparently they had been
blown right through the walls and
the windows, ” said Saginaw County
sheriffs deputy John Dankert.
“There were other people who had
been knocked down walking around
in a daze.”
Funeral services for Texas A&M
freshman William M. Hale, 19, will
be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday (Jan. 23)
in San Antonio at Porter Loring Fu
neral Chapel with burial in Mission
Burial Park.
A&M officials have announced
Silver Taps ceremonies for Hale are
scheduled Tuesday (Jan. 27).
A management major from Tem
ple, Hale was found dead on campus
Wednesday. Peace Justice MikeCal-
1 ill am said the case had been ruled
suicide.
