The April explosion at the coal-fired power plant outside Cartersville in Bartow County that injured three resulted from a failure to comply with procedures and communicate.
Human error led to the explosion last month at Plant Bowen, Georgia Power officials say. Three people sustained minor injuries in the April 4 blast just outside Cartersville in Bartow County.

The reason it happened: workers failed to comply with procedures and properly communicate, Georgia Power spokesman Mark Williams told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Employees were beginning a maintenance outage on coal-fired Bowen's Unit 2 just before the blast, which significantly damaged the control room for Units 1 and 2 and the switchyard, where electricity is converted to the proper voltage before being …

The rule means that while you may see your fellow fans using Twitter and other social media platforms while at the game, you won’t see “#SicemDawgs” between the hedges at Sanford Stadium or “#GaTech” on Historic Grant Field in Bobby Dodd Stadium. Speaking of UGA, another Southeastern Conference school, Mississippi…
