Metals plant explosion claims a life

The explosion at a metals plant in west Georgia last month has taken a life. 26-year-old Kenneth Walton died over the weekend from injuries sustained in the November 29th explosion at G-and-S Metal Consultants in Manchester. Walton was burned over 75-percent of his body, and was being treated at Atlanta’s Grady Hospital. Walton was one of seven people injured in the explosion--he was one of three takn to Grady. Authorities believe the plant's explosion was caused when water accidentally came in contact with boiling aluminum.
