It was asking a lot, as the authorities did, to ask us to believe that the three explosiones of November | 12—all within an hour—were due either to accident or coincidence, All of us hoped that was so. But in spite of official reassurance, few of us believed it was. This latest blast at Bridgeville, third in a week in the plants of the American Cyanamid & Chemical Corporation, is the straw which breaks that arm of coincidence as well as the proverbial camel's bac!
