Civil Trial About JJ’s Restaurant Explosion Set To Close

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Closing arguments are expected in the civil trial involving the 2013 fatal explosion at a Kansas City restaurant. The lawsuit stems from the February 2013 natural-gas explosion and fire that destroyed JJ's restaurant, killed one employee and injured 15 others. David Frantze and his brother Jimmy Frantze, who operated the popular restaurant, have been seeking more than $9 million in damages from Time Warner Cable and USIC Locating Services.
