at Bayer crop an explosion that sent a fire ball aproxamatley 200 feet in the air and a explosion that was felt about 50 miles away.

news reporting 1 person injured and i missing. kanawha county ambulance was transporting 1 to the hospital with burns.

shelter in place

route 25, route 60 and I-64 shout down both directions.

they are having trouble getting the fire out.

the fire is in the Larvin ( spelling ?) unit. which has something to do with pesticides.

update

they are trying to get a reactor or something shut down that goes to the MIC storage tank which is still stored at this facility.

WOW they (inside the plant) just listed of about 7 or 8 chemicals but mostly said mibk and methamil residue. unsure on spelling so forgive me for that.

be glad you did miss this one. I am on the saint albans side of the plant and we got our house and everthing else shook when the blast went off. I was on the computer when this happened and my monitor was wobbling back and forth.

about 220 am they lifted the shelter in place and opened up all the roads.

It's a shame someone died.
