Four Iowa towns evacuated after Terra Industries blast
About 2,500 residents from Homer, Hubbard, Winnebago in Iowa and Macy in Nebraska were evacuated after a Terra Industries explosion punctured ammonia tanks and a nitric acid tank. Four workers died and 18 were injured as a 7 story building crater formed. Nearly all residents returned by afternoon as fumes dissipated. Authorities investigated cause while EPA and safety audits noted no prior issues.
