Tank Explosion At C.e In July!?

[DEEPSEAWOLF]

I was just looking up the number to call a buddy there and saw this...

It seems a High pressure cylinder blew. I'm not sure whether it was a tank fill or what. Fran was killed and some nearby customers were injured. The website didn't have any update info but I had met Fran and she was an awesome lady! This also deeply saddens me because she had a young son. I never heard anything about this incident. My condolences to her family and to the loss of one of our own. Does anyone have any info on this? Calling C.E. now.

Sorry, I must have been in a daze during that time frame. I'm finding all kinds of info on it now. if an admin out there can delete this thread for me, I'd appreciate it.

Well.. it can be closed, archived, etc... or just left open to filter through the natural course of posts that lag behind.

I believe at the time of this happening you were (as Gibbon put it and i am paraphrasing here) "really busy, doing shifts from he11" at least around the time everyone was asking about your organisation of various trips. Sorry you didnt find out til now, it seems like a lot of people knew her, i wasnt one of those lucky enough to know her, but any loss is a loss.
