My family and church members are saying prayers for all the people involved today. Thank you for all of your heroic efferts, and that they may all be blessed. To those whom got injured, know that God loves you and has his hands on you. There are so many people praying for you, and know that your loved ones, love you and need you to get well soon, for they love you dearly and want you home. We hope and pray that the Cortec Company will rebuild in Spooner, so the community don't loose another vital company in this town. It is very tragic for what has happened, to all involved,especially the workers. Please don't abandon the plant in Spooner, rebuild it with the Faith of God, for he will bless you and make the plant more prosperous, than you could ever imagine. May God Bless All of You

Not to diminish the serious event this morning, but photo number 1 by Lindsay Quinn has to be one of the most inpressive "on scene" grab shots I have seen in a long time. I hope it is submitted for some sort of award.

Very tragic for the town of spooner and it's many unemployed dependent hopefuls that spooner would let more industry in..This now is even more reason why the town daddy's will put a kabosh on companies wishing to migrate here keeping the already nearly deserted town more deserted as our up coming graduates have to move elsewhere to survive.
