A huge explosion was seen taking place at an industrial area in Argentina today.
The incident was called out as an alarming matter as it arose at an industrial park in Ezeiza, on the southern edge of Buenos Aires. This ignited a massive fire and sent out huge and thick plumes of smoke into the night sky.
The explosion is believed to have struck several different factories, including a chemical, agrochemical, plastics, and tyre plants. This caused major damage to different structures and shattered windows in various residential homes miles away.
At least two dozen people were hurt in the incident and therefore rushed to nearby medical centers for emergency treatment.
Witnesses were seen speaking about the terrifying scenes unfolding before their eyes. Some even spoke about witnessing things fall from the sky, right before the huge blast arose.
Firefighters rushed to the scene, but the massive blaze proved to be a huge challenge to control. It involved different kinds of hazardous materials and posed a mighty risk to first responders. As per the authorities, an investigation was launched into the matter without any delay.
Early indications pointed to the huge outbreak of fire in one of the agrochemical warehouses, while nothing is confirmed right now. The scale of damage and huge health risks this poses are also being questioned.
