I've been waiting to hear an explanation of that myself. Here is my favorite write-up so far. It's from
http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/12713 :
"-- CNN.com reports that a Slim Jim factory exploded in North Carolina the same day as the Macho Man Randy Savage DVD release. The explosion was pretty serious and left 3 people in critical condition. You can check out the story at this link, and the DVD via Amazon at this link."
Those pro-wrestling folks clearly have there priorities lined up!

Just for the record, it turns out that there was a natural gas leak located in a room where pumps produce the vacuum for packing the Slim Jims.

my condolences to the families of those that perished in the explosion...
that being said - it seems that slim jims had the same affect on the factory as it does the intestinal tract...
