LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The president of a Kentucky plant that exploded earlier this week said the company is accountable for the accident and will pay damages to residents affected by the blast. “First and foremost, we are devastated by the accident that happened on Tuesday,” said Ann Leonard, president of Givaudan Sense Color, during a call-in meeting with reporters Friday afternoon. “We know this event has been felt deeply throughout the community, and believe me, we feel it too.” The afternoon explosion killed two workers and injured 11 other employees.
