At least four people at BP Cherry Point Refinery in Blaine were injured the morning of Saturday, April 18 after an industrial accident, according to the company. Witnesses at the refinery and in Birch Bay heard a large explosion around 10:20 a.m. Employees at the refinery were evacuated.
Nine months after the blast, families finally spoke in court - but the answers they're still waiting for could take years.
The 46-year-old man charged in connection to the explosion at New Centre Drive’s Eastern Carolina Medical Veterinary Center appeared in New Hanover County court Thursday.
