Washington Post article

@EurekaLott: I had also thought that this article had dubious notability, until I saw this newspaper article:
Bellware, Kim (March 18, 2023). "Plant explosion leaves town with fear of lead exposure and few answers". The Washington Post.

I removed the proposal to delete this page. The incident was an industrial accident that occurred three days before the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio. Both incidents raise concerns about effective regulation at the state and national levels. The Bedford incident was covered by national publications including the Washington Post and the New York Times. It is almost certain that the Ohio train derailment will have a lasting impact on national policy. In that context it is appropriate to document accidents that have proximity in time, place, and possible cause. Dcooperdb9 (talk) 17:09, 26 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
