Boiler Explosion At Mohawk Milk Plant Injures Two
Two Mohawk Condensed Milk Company workers narrowly escaped fatal injury when a boiler exploded at the Corry plant around 2 p.m. Thomas Mead and Dave Renslak were repairing a boiler in the furnace room when the blast occurred. Mead burned his right hand. Renslak suffered more serious injuries but both were taken to hospital. The blast temporarily flooded the plant with steam but operations were resumed after quick repairs. Authorities could not determine a definite cause, though officials noted the blow-off pipe failed and the explosion did not engulf the entire battery of boilers.
