Some good news for North Carolina welder...

According to this article, John Clark, the welder whose torch sparked a deadly explosion earlier this year, won't be charged in connection with the tragedy. As tragic as it was, I'm glad that Clark isn't going to be charged.

Clark made a ton of mistakes (he wasn't even hired to do the job yet), but they weren't mistakes of malice. Still it's a cautionary tale for those in the busines. Check everything out. Don't assume you're welding in a safe environment. Know it.

Your life and the lives of others are at stake. Take care.
