YEAH, THIS UPSET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE AROUND THIS PLANT. AS YOU SAID, THREE WORKERS ARE HOSPITALIZED. OF TWO OF THEM TRANSPORTED BY A CHOPPER, INCLUDING ONE THAT WENT TO THE BAYSIDE BURN CENTER IN MARYLAND FOR FIRE. INVESTIGATORS SPENT HOURS AT THE PLANT, BUT NO OFFICIAL WORD YET ON WHAT CAUSED THE EXPLOSION. NEIGHBORS SAY THEY HEARD THE SOUND OF ALARMS GOING OFF. I WAS IN THE KITCHEN DOING DISHES AND I HEARD THE KLAXONS GO OFF, AND I SUDDENLY HEARD A WOMAN’S VOICE SAY THAT THERE HAS BEEN A FIRE EVENT. AND THEY WOULD NEED TO EVACUATE THE BUILDING. IT WENT ON FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES. 13 FIRE COMPANIES WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE. THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF ANY OTHER INJURIES, AND AS OF TONIGHT, THE COMPANY SAYS IT HAS TEMPORARILY CLOSED THE PLAN
