25 People were killed and 54 were injured in a chicken processing plant

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?

He served 4 years.
