37.9M Verdict for Watson Grinding Victims | Texas News

A Harris County jury just awarded $37.9 million to five victims of the deadly 2020 Watson Grinding explosion, blaming 3M and Teledyne-Decton for failing to ensure functional gas alarms — which did nothing to warn workers or neighbors as hundreds of gallons of flammable gas leaked and exploded. The blast shattered homes, displaced families, and left survivors like Amelia Diosdado and Salomon Nunez traumatized — but now, justice is inching forward. While the initial disaster was caused by a faulty hose, this verdict targets the companies that ignored safety protocols. Though the legal battle isn’t over — and getting the money to victims remains complex — this ruling marks a powerful step toward accountability for those who let preventable tragedy unfold.
