OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of the second worker killed by an explosion at a rail car repair facility in Omaha.
The Omaha Police Department identified him as 44-year-old Adrian LaPour.
Tuesday afternoon's blast occurred at the repair shop of GE Capital Rail Services, which is near a BNSF rail yard. The two men worked at Nebraska Railcar Cleaning Services, hired by GE Capital Rail.
The other dead worker has been identified as 40-year-old Dallas Foulk. Battalion Chief Tim McCaw of the Omaha Fire Department says Foulk was found on the ground near a tank car. The body of LaPour was retrieved later from inside the tank car.
A third worker, who was atop the tank car, wearing a harness, was blown off but escaped serious injury.
