Lawmakers tour sugar refinery rubble

Today some of Georgia's Congressional delegation toured what remains of the Imperial Sugar Refinery in Port Wentworth near Savannah. Senators Johnny Isakson and Saxby Chambliss, along with U.S. Representative John Barrow, met with families and employees affected by last Thursday's explosion. The officials pledge to urge the federal government to conduct a thorough investigation into what caused the blast. Eight people were killed, 50 were injured, and one worker is still missing.
