The accident happened at around 9:30 a.m. at Hebei Keeperchemical Industries Co.,Ltd in Zhaoxian county, said Cheng Weiqing, deputy chief of the public security bureau of Shijiazhuang, Hebei's capital city which administers Zhaoxian.

The blast flattened one of the factory's workshops and shattered window panes within a radius of 2,000 meters, Cheng quoted witnesses as saying.

The injured had been hospitalized, according to Cheng. The blast was felt in at least three villages near the plant, he said.

There was no risk of contamination from the blast at the plant, which manufactures pesticide products such as guanidine nitrate, Cheng added.

Family members of the workers had arrived, waiting outside the factory.

Most of the employees are middle-aged men. The products of factory are highly toxic and the factory only employs married men, villagers said.

Local authorities said Hebei Keeperchemical Industries Co.,Ltd is a private company, which also had a fire in 2011 -- leaving no casualties.

Thanks you Nancy.

I had to find this piece of ZetaTalk and I was under the impression that all volatile chemicals stored by man will explode although this ZT excerpt was from 1 who was concerned about all the nuclear waste that's stored.

We have frequently been asked about nuclear materials, and the answer is as follows. This is in many hands, including human hands. The more concern there is about this matter, the more those in the Service-to-Other are considered to have given the Call about this matter, and this translates to the greater likelihood that aliens will be allowed to intervene on behalf of those making the request for mankind in general. Steps have already been taken, but you should not simply, like a child assuming parental rescue, relax. We have stated that industrial chemicals, in tanks, will explode and mix and make a terrible mess for those in the vicinity. However, the torrential rains and ocean sloshing will dissipate these cess pools, and in the Aftertime there will be cleanup efforts, as many who will be reincarnating or surviving have asked to participate in such efforts. Short of encouraging those industries who currently store these chemicals to cease such operations, there is little a citizen can do.
