GARNER, N.C. — At least half of a sprawling Slim Jim processing plant was damaged in a fatal explosion, and parts of the building may need to be removed before federal investigators can go inside, officials said Thursday.
A day after authorities pulled three bodies from the site, structural-safety engineers with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives brought lasers and other tools to assess the building’s stability and determine which parts of the 500,000-square-foot plant to shore up or take out before agents can pinpoint the cause of the blast.
