There was an <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/explosion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#explosion</a> at an <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Armour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Armour</a> meat factory building in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/StJoseph" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StJoseph</a> MO in 1930. There were quite a few similarities to the modern factory disaster: Like the modern explosion, gas was suspected, an entire building was leveled, & the explosion happened around the time workers were done for the day.The 1930 blast sent the roof of the six-story building between 50-100 feet in the air, killing 19 and injuring many. Four of the victims were young girls.In my article, I embedded a link to a collection of newspaper articles abt the disaster. I also included a list of the victims and others whose names were in the articles.
