Fire At German Chemicals Plant Leaves 18 Injured |
2024-07-30 |
[Barrons] An explosion and subsequent fire Monday at the main plant of German chemical giant BASF left 18 people slightly injured including seven firefighters, police said. The explosion occurred around at the massive Ludwigshafen plant, BASF said, setting off a fire that was extinguished by an hour later. The company said its injured employees had received care on site. Images showed a cloud of smoke emanating from the Ludwigshafen plant, the largest chemicals complex in the world. Residents were initially told to keep doors and windows shut, but authorities in the western German city later gave the all-clear. Environmental monitoring vehicles had detected "slightly elevated levels of hydrocarbons" in the immediate area, BASF said. I always worry about that'll happen once Islam takes over Europe and Muslim rulers have European dhimmi engineers at their disposal. But, maybe I shouldn't.
