Coolant. Thats my guess. Deregulation. Still no answers to the residents. They know nothing except there is no health concerns for the public? Seriously nuts.

first pepsi co company shuts down now the caramel color factory for soft drinks explodes? someones fighting diabeetus on a large scale

Why was this plant ever that close to residential dwellings?

This is the second time exploding.

PSA: before you move to a area always be aware pf what plants and factories are around you. You need to know exactly what they do and what chemicals they deal with and the possible hazards associated with that site. Then make a wise decision or have a plan. Its not a matter of IF but WHEN!!

This is what happens when you put people in jobs who do not qualify for the position.

A color dye used in soft drinks caused this?? 😮

"They believe chemicals were involved" How do I get a job in journalism?

This is such a shame. It happened before, how did the company not identify the issue and THEN act to prevent a repeat? Well, once 45 rolls back all the regulations it won’t matter what happened; companies won’t be held liable OR accountable and workers plus nearby residents will be SOL.
