It's
a headline for your inner 12-year-old. Monday, two pickup trucks
collided in Newark, Delaware, and one of the trucks smashed into the
laboratory of the AnalTech company, leaving a large hole behind. A bad
odor began emanating from the building, leading first responders to
contact the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control,
leading to a HazMat team coming out to clean up the area. Three hours
later, the site was declared safe. But you might still be wondering
about AnalTech.
In an email sent to the Houston
Chronicle, a spokesperson revealed, "In 1964, the company paid a
marketing firm to come up with a different name. They said, 'Well, you
guys do Analytical Technology – why don’t you put the two words together
and call it ‘AnalTech!' ”
However, the spokesperson admitted
that "AnalTech faces certain challenges because of the 'juvenile' humor
that has developed in the past few decades and current web filters that
may block the company name" and has considered rebranding as a result.
The drivers of the two trucks sustained non-life threatening injuries.
State Police are investigating the incident.
