Dust explosions blamed on overheated bearing at Davenport plant
Fire officials traced the May 23 Davenport International Multifood plant blasts to an overheated bearing in a truck unload log. A 30 to 45 minute delay before notifying fire crews preceded the mid day explosions, destroying the elevator complex along the Mississippi. Four died, about 400,000 bushels of grain valued at 1.6 million were affected, and estimated damage reached 3 million as salvage operations continued. The Iowa Bureau of Labor cited the company for safety violations and the firm plans an appeal.
