Huge accident real close to me

[Nacho]

Hi there firiends.

This afternoon, there was an accident in a company real close to the company where I work. Actually, both companies were only 500 meters from each other.

They had a huge explosion in their laboratoy (it is a chemical company) and after the detonation, a very violent fire due to the amount of chemical prodcuts, plastics and dissolvents.

There had been 5 people injuried, two of them almost to death, and they had to take them away by helcopter to a special hospital in Madrid for burnt people. The other three of them were probably took to the Valladolid main hospital and I bet they are in my best friend's hands (he is the man in charge for the emergencies and urgencies at the hospital).

I had the chance to be real close of the place and I even got beyond the police line where nobody else could stay. I took my camera with me and this what I saw.

@ Nacho: The chemical industries often have some "problems". In our neighbour town the BASF is located. In the past there were often some accidents with hurt people but it seemes to me that they have a good security management yet.

Hope the injured people will soon return to health.

Last night after work, before I went home, and also this morning, I went to the place o fthe accident and took some closer pictures.

It is incredible what chemical stuff can do. The whole you see in the pictures was not done by the fire. It was done by the huge explosion.

The injuried people are getting better all of them. although on of them have lost one of his hands.
