Ben Hatfield Explosion Quotations

While our independent investigation is certainly not the final word on the explosion, we are confident that the joint federal-state investigation will reach a similar conclusion. We are pleased that we can get our Sago employees back to work with the knowledge that the explosion was an unpredictable and highly unusual accident.

No barricades or survivors were seen, but there was also no evidence of substantial explosion damage to the installed equipment that was in view.
