Gas-detection meter from Connecticut explosion to be analysed
May 14 2010
Superior Court Judge Robert Holzberg ordered police to analyse the equipment from the explosion, which killed six people and endangered the personal safety of others, the Associated Press reports.
The device, which the news provider noted is like the black box on an airplane, will be closely guarded by the US Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board in case it is required in the future for civil and criminal law cases.
According to the information source, workers have stated they could smell gas very strongly in the moments leading up to the detonation, which occurred during a pipeline-cleaning exercise.
In March, Judge Holzberg allowed lawyers in the case to examine evidence taken from the scene of the accident noting there is "significant public interest" in allowing materials to be analysed.
