explosion ripped through a food additive plant Friday, killing a worker and spewing a cloud of ammonia over parts of Louisville.
Residents near the D.D. Williamson & Co. plant were asked to stay inside their homes after the explosion at 2 a.m. shook windows more than five kilometres away. It took six hours for 18,000 kilograms of ammonia to leak out of a ruptured tank. Five workers were inside at the time of the explosion. Four escaped uninjured, but the fifth was killed. His identity was not released.
