Connecticut remembers 6 killed in plant explosion

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. Gov. M. Jodi Rell and U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd were among those at the service Saturday at St. Mary Czestochowa parish in Middletown.

The Rev. Marek Masnicki said such services are a time to reflect on how short life is, but that God sees us outside of time. He said Christ emphasized that sorrow will turn to joy.

A federal safety investigator said a volatile natural gas and air mixture large enough to fill a professional basketball arena had accumulated in tight quarters before the explosion Feb. 7.
