Atlas Foundry Explosion From WSDOT Cam At SR16 & Union Ave

October 6, 2007, The Big boom on a WSDOT traffic cam at SR 16 and Union Ave looking north at the foundry. There is no audio. This view puts another perspective on the blast. I have to thank the WSDOT. This camera is an excellent use of taxpayer money!
