A 46-year-old man was killed and 13 workers were taken to hospital after the blast, which spewed molten metal and debris across neighboring sites.
Matthew Wiggins, the owner of a neighboring business called Rose Colored Gaming, told Ohio broadcaster WOIO that he was working when his building was rocked by the explosion."Within a second or two, it sounded like large amounts of debris were hitting the roof. Things were falling off the walls, falling off shelves. We went out front and there was like smoldering rocks and molten metal in the yard. Tons and tons of smoke. Fire billowing out of the building across the street," he said.
Another witness, Joe Sarconi, said a brick wall enclosing the property was obliterated."A beam flew across the street. That other beam flew across the street and blew out our window," he said, describing the events as"horrible.". A controlled fire was set to try to burn up the chemicals, and a plume of toxic fumes and smoke forced thousands of people to evacuate the town of East Palestine..
