A large explosion rocked a manufacturing plant outside of Chicago, killing one worker, authorities said. Two others are missing since the blast.
One worker was pronounced dead and two colleagues were missing Saturday after an explosion rocked a manufacturing plant outside Chicago, authorities said.
Meanwhile, the search for the other two missing workers was suspended due to intense structural damage. The search is expected to resume within the next 24 to 48 hours.Objects including large steel beams were subject to strong winds, and the building's insurance is working to obtain equipment to remove some of the heavy debris so the search can resume.
Firefighters arrived and immediately began treating four workers on the scene for unspecified injuries. The four were taken to local hospitals, including two transported to Advocate Condell and two to Vista East.Workers told firefighters that nine people were in the building at the time of the explosion, according to Waukegan Fire Marshall Steven Lenzi.County crews were called in for help because of the size of the fire and due to the hazardous materials.
