Wrong-O Oh Karnak.....

25 People were killed and 54 were injured in a chicken processing
plant that had been operating for 11 years with no safety inspection.
An unsafely modified machine caused the disaster. The owner had
ordered the fire doors locked shut and was sent to prison for 20
years. The company received the highest fines ever assessed in the
history of North Carolina. The plant is still closed. It was in
Hamlet.

Cool. Thanks for the update. I remember the fire. Is the owner still in
jail?- Hide quoted text -

don't you make up some more **** about who burned the church in
Alaska, or how about a commercial with a chain hanging off the back of
a truck... People like you are disgusting bigots, traitors, now go
shoot yourself ..;..
