South Rutherford Open Again

MURFREESBORO TN - South Rutherford off Church Street has re-opened after being closed by Murfreesboro Police following a huge explosion at Southern Container's facility just after 9 a.m. this morning when a steam boiler blew up.

Despite extensive damage to the building, police report no serious injuries with all company employees accounted for.

The big explosion shook windows, and in some cases knocked pictures off walls, across a large area.

With a gas line broken, police closed South Rutherford and the nearby CSX railroad line until it could be shut off.
