One dead, 13 injured in Ohio factory explosion

From miles away you can see the black smoke and as you got closer the flames. It was catastrophic what happened inside Ice Human and Company. The sounds so loud many thought it was a bomb. Donald Price was inside. He was still in shock covered in soot and dust. Everything was going like usual day everything was going fine. Next thing I know boom everything turned black.

All day the big explosion is so black you couldn't see so I finally made my way to get outside. Outside others who work in the industrial park witnessed something they had never seen before. I heard a bunch of debris hitting the top of our building and landing in the parking lot. These are a few pieces that I had found in our parking lot. The debris field so large it was like shrapnel flying through the air. Ice Human and Company make copper alloys. The explosion happened in the middle of the plant.

So powerfully created a crater. When rescue crews arrived on the scene it was chaotic. It seemed like a lot of burn victims a lot of burn injuries that people were mostly walking wounded. And as bad as it seemed outside it was worse for the employees inside who watched the building explode and crumble before them. Price was walking to his daughter's car when we met up with him. It was like in shock. I was like in shock.
