Missing information:
At one point, Sherman narrowly escaped death, he tells me, taking a careful, long sip of coffee. One day while he was working, cold chlorine was accidentally exposed to extreme heat, which instantly transformed the liquid to gas. Sixteen workers were in the plant at the time. Noting that the company was short of protective gear, Sherman’s boss instructed him to leave. “Thirty minutes after I left,” he says, “the plant blew up. Five of the 15 men I left behind were killed.” The next afternoon, Sherman’s boss asked him to help search for the bodies of the dead workers. Two were found, three were not.
Acid had so decomposed the body of one of the three victims that his remains came out in pieces in the sewer that drained into a nearby bayou. “If someone hadn’t found him,” Sherman says, turning his
head to look out of his dining room window, “that body would have ended up floating into Bayoud’Inde.”
