RALEIGH, N.C. — A contractor clearing a natural-gas line during installation of a water heater likely released an inflammable cloud that ignited in a fatal blast at a North Carolina Slim Jim factory, federal investigators said Thursday.
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board echoed another agency’s report from last week in blaming natural gas for the blast that killed three people at the Conagra Inc. plant on June 9.
