[3143] William H. Slager initially was a research chemist at the
Thomas and Hochwalt Laboratories in Dayton, Ohio in 1935. This
company was bought by the Monsanto Chemical Company and in
1942, during WW II, he was transferred to their Texas City,
Texas plant where they made synthetic rubber for tires for the
U.S. military.
In 1943 he became a production supervisor at this plant.
On April 16, 1947 a ship full of unstable chemical fertilizer
which was docked next to the Monsanto plant caught fire and
exploded. The explosion , the equivalent of a three kiloton
nuclear explosion, destroyed the Monsanto plant, set fire to
other nearby chemical refineries, and resulted in the deaths of
approximately 600 people, and seriously injured Mr. Slager
He recovered and in 1950 he was promoted to become a
manufacturing superintendent in charge of the production of
various petrochemicals.
