Six Dead In Czech Chemical Plant Explosion
At least six people died and several others were seriously injured in an explosion Thursday at a Czech chemical plant in the northern town of Kralupy-nad-Vltavou, fire fighters said.
"We have received information about six dead and several others seriously injured," regional fire fighter spokeswoman Vladimira Kerekova said, quoted by the CTK news agency.
The Prague-Vinohrady hospital has triggered its emergency plan and is getting ready to receive a "significant number" of patients, she added.
Emergency services spokeswoman Petra Effenbergerova said six people were injured.
Kerekova said the factory belongs to the Polish firm Synthos, which manufactures synthetic rubber and polystyrene.
"We have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances and causes," police spokeswoman Marketa Johnova said.
