Another body has been found by search teams in the rubble after an explosion at a northern Illinois silicone plant, bringing the death toll to 3
Search and recovery personnel found the body of another worker Sunday in the rubble of a northern Illinois silicone plant that exploded and burst into flames two days ago, bringing the death toll to three employees with one more body believed to be in the debris, a fire official said.
Waukegan Fire Marshal Steve Lenzi said the body was found as first responders resumed searching in hazardous conditions in the shattered remains of the AB Specialty Silicones plant in Waukegan, about 80 kilometres north of Chicago. They were searching for the bodies of two of the nine workers who were there when an explosion rocked the building Friday night and left it a shattered skeleton.
"We are in the process of removing one of those two bodies," Lenzi told a news conference Sunday. He said at least half of the building still needs to be searched. Of the nine in the building at the time of the blast, one body was found early Saturday. Four people were taken to the hospital and one of those died later Saturday. The condition of the other three workers in the hospital was not immediately known, Lenzi said. The third confirmed the death was the body located Sunday with one other body still to recover.
