Yikes! I'm so glad that he's okay. (The explosion made the lead item on the news over here yesterday.)

Thank you. It's kind of really weirding me out. For as long as I can remember, my dad's job has involved hard hats and safety glasses at times and it's like... in my head, concussions, him losing a finger or limb or something, was always a remote possibility, but I guess the danger was somewhat unreal and I never really thought "his career could get him killed."

I need to check up on them today.

I know exactly what you mean.

I've always worked in labs, and despite all the safety notices everywhere they never really *feel* like dangerous places. But someone working in another lab in the same organization was killed by a liquid nitrogen leak, and it was -- whoa! Really? That can happen? Just very surreal.

Wow. Scary stuff. I'm glad your dad is okay.

I'm glad your dad is okay! You could hear and feel the explosion here at the house, I thought for sure the huge pine in our backyard had fallen down.

What a tiny place the world has become. When I heard about this on the news, it never even occurred to me that I might know someone personally affected. I'm very glad to hear that your dad's safe, and so sorry for the less fortunate ones.
