Grain Bin Collapse Buries Highway 475 In Whiting
A 90 foot grain bin at Whiting collapsed Monday dumping 500000 bushels of corn onto Highway 475 and a nearby railroad line. No injuries were reported though homes and a tavern faced danger as traffic was detoured and rail service halted. Workers fled as the bin failed in two seconds amid a cloud of dust described as like an atomic bomb.
