At Least Four Seriously Injured in Fire at Huge River Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Mich.

No, you may not. You're not worthy.
(And it "you're," not "your.")
Why are you so focused on race? Have you even read what is considered under Ford's AA program?
"Disparate treatment on the basis of race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or veteran status is contrary to the spirit and intent of our nondiscrimination policies."
Race is only one of 9 criteria listed. Why not assume the original poster was commenting on Ford's retention of older employees with seniority during layoffs, or initiatives to hire disabled employees (which might actually have an impact on safety in some areas)?
Funny how the obvious escapes them, huh?
The Detroit area has been referred to as "New Fallujah"......
Detroit is heavily Muslim. No joke.
And just what does that have to do with the price of tea in china?
You must understand that anything that goes wrong in this country it's the fault of Muslims. All REAL FReepers know this.
Do I need a sarcasm tag?
Damn. Are they bringing back the Pinto?
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — At least six people were hospitalized after an explosion and fire at a steel plant within the River Rouge industrial complex Monday, a steel company spokesman said.
Oakwood Hospital spokeswoman Beth Oates said all six were in good condition late Monday morning. Four were at Oakwood Hospital & Medical Center in Dearborn and two were at Oakwood Heritage Hospital in Taylor, Oates said.
Severstal spokesman William Hornberger said a transport vehicle that can carry up to 400 tons of molten steel was backing into a building when some molten steel sloshed out of the vehicle. The molten steel hit two of the vehicle's 8-foot tires and caused them to explode, Hornberger said.
Part of the building's steel siding also was blown out in the explosion, Hornberger said.
Hornberger said four of the injured people were Severstal employees.
The plant previously was owned by Ford Motor Co. and currently is owned by Severstal, a Russian steel company. The companies share the complex in Dearborn.
The Rouge plant has been the site of several accidents in the past few years. In 1999, a Ford boiler undergoing routine maintenance exploded, killing six employees and injuring 14 others. State regulators later found 15 workplace safety violations.
In 2001, four explosions and a fire at the steel plant left two workers with minor injuries when a furnace blew and 2,000-degree molten steel spewed out.
Thank you BenLurkin.
You are way to sensitive to survive in Israel...
