An aluminum processing plant in Hakwoon Industrial Complex, Gimpo-si, Gyeonggi-do.
A large 3.5-ton nitrogen gas tank, located outside the building, explodes with a loud roar.
The exterior wall of the factory collapsed in an instant in a shock as if it had been dropped by a bomb.
The door of the factory office opposite is also falling off.
The explosion happened around 7:30 this morning.
[Explosion witness: There was a bang, and the sound was huge.
Then, white powder covered the whole thing, so I couldn't see it.]
As you can see, the scene is a miserable situation.
The factory building was completely destroyed, leaving only bare skeletons, and vehicle damage followed.
A sign that has fallen out of the factory is placed above one of the cars.
In this accident, a total of 6 people were injured, including 2 workers staying at the factory at the time of the explosion and 2 foreign workers from the adjacent factory. Fortunately, it is known that there are no serious injuries.
At least four adjacent factories were found to have been damaged, including furniture and 10 vehicles.
It is known that the factory where the accident occurred recently installed basic facilities such as a nitrogen gas tank that exploded this time while moving the office building.
The police said they plan to investigate the cause of the accident, such as whether there was a problem in the gas tank installation process or inexperience in operation, through a joint investigation.
