Galveston blast ruled accidental
A grain elevator explosion in Galveston Texas killed at least 15 and injured 92. Fire officials say the blast was definitely accidental with two likely causes under investigation: a spark from a railroad engine igniting grain dust or a switch in the elevator top shorting to spark. Searchers sought three missing as flood lights lit the rubble. A crew of 92 workers and eight federal inspectors were on site when the blast occurred.
