Explosive blast near Carey Ohio destroys quarry crater
A deliberate dynamite explosion at the National Lime and Stone Co quarry near Carey Ohio ripped through the area early today. The blast left a 100 by 80 by 50 foot crater, shattered windows across Wyandot County, and forced about 25 deputies to bar spectators. No injuries reported though 150 workers and nearby families faced displacement. Authorities estimate damage in the thousands of dollars and note the blast likely involved 40,000 to 50,000 pounds of dynamite. Union officials deny any involvement. The blast was felt as far as Detroit and Columbus with windows rattled in several towns.
