Dual explosions rocked the Verla Cosmetics Factory in New Windsor, New York, destroying the factory and killing one person injuring at least 30 people, including 5 firefighters who were caught in the second blast.

Looks like Verla is going to have their hands full since they have been cited prior to this for several OSHA violations; I think they are going to have a lot of explaining to do.

And some wonder why we need regulatory agencies for safety in the workplace.

Apparently another reporter who believes that ANYTHING north of NYC is "upstate" . We real Upstaters hate that. That's why we call ourselves Northern New Yorkers.
