What's this

By The Canadian Press

NIPAWIN, Sask. - Police say charges will not be laid in a massive natural gas explosion that killed two people in a small Saskatchewan town.

The April 18 explosion also injured three others and demolished a handful of businesses in Nipawin. The blast was caused when a natural gas pipe was damaged by construction equipment.

Brent Boxall, who was in his early 50s, and his father Jack, who was in his 70s, were killed.

Sgt. Carole Raymond says Nipawin RCMP have completed their investigation, and found no basis for any criminal charges.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS NEWS STORY (SHOW) What's this?

Maybe its time for regional emergency response teams to quickly help out when a smaller city is hit by an overwhelming emergency. canymex9000 - MadeInCanada, like me, has recently switched to this story from the ugliness of the one dealing with the poll about visible minorities and had many people blaming immigrants and visible minorities for everything they didn't like, his comments are understandable if you followed that story as well but I can't recommend you do, it makes for ugly reading.

You could lay the blame on the poor training of the demolition workers regardless of creed or visability I guess they wouldnt be wearing reflective jackets.
