I think that the article should be renamed to include the company name as in the case of the PEPCON disaster. After all, those injured and killed were concentrated to the company and not spread over the city (correct me if am wrong).

My opinion is that in cases like this, where an event probably doesn't have a recognised name, we have to use a descriptive one. Following the recently established disasters naming convention is one possibility, though that convention shouldn't be applied rigidly. If another name is better, use that instead. Also, it is best to make a sustained effort to try and see whether a name has 'taken hold' in the media an literature, and use that. Then use lots of redirects to cover 4-5 other possible names, based on what people might search for. The categories should cover these as well. The point about descriptive names is that they are malleable, and change over time. Close to the event in time, there seems little need to mention the date, and the location is used to identify the event. A few centuries later, the date becomes more important than the location. In the local area, there is little need to identify the location, and the date is often used to name the event. Compare Good Friday Earthquake with Great Alaska Earthquake and 1964 Alaska earthquake. The other thing is, that though this event seems notable now, it is possible that in 100 years time, it will be no more than a footnote in history. So my advice is to create a lot of redirects, see what name is most commonly used to refer to the event, and if that fails, toss a coin. And remember to put common names used for the event in bold in the first few sentences. Carcharoth 20:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I have now moved the article to the present title - 2006 Falk Corporation explosion. Note the year is nescesary as Falk had two other explosions (see the article), including a fatal one that damaged a vehicle almost a mile away, and is almost certainly notable in it's own right.
