Fatal blast frees deadly snakes at Marshall's Creek
A tanker truck loaded with ammonium nitrate and dynamite exploded near Livingston's Reptile Farm in Marshall's Creek Pennsylvania early Friday, killing six including Middletown high school teacher John Regina and injuring eight. The blast freed about 60 snakes and destroyed four buildings, wrecked three fire engines, damaged nearby homes and triggered a large search and cleanup effort.
