The huge explosion at a sugar refinery in February 2008 that resulted in 14 deaths occurred in which city?

• A. Port Wentworth, Georgia
• B. Savannah, Georgia
• C. Atlanta, Georgia
• D. Columbus, Georgia

Answer: (A)

The event hinges on knowing the precise location of the 2008 sugar refinery disaster. It occurred at the Imperial Sugar refinery in Port Wentworth, Georgia, a town just across the Savannah River from Savannah. The plant’s official location is Port Wentworth, even though reports may reference Savannah due to proximity. The February 2008 explosion killed 14 people. So, the correct city is Port Wentworth. The other cities listed are not where the refinery sits.
