WARSAW, Poland - An explosion rocked southern Warsaw today as a sweetpea factory exploded, killing 15.
Another 140 people were hurt when the roof caved-in trapping many inside the large sweetpea vats.
"The whole catastrophe was caused by serious design and construction faults and storage of explosives on the roof," said Jerzy Polaczek, citing an investigation into the collapse.
About 500 people were inside the factory when the explosion occoured and caused a large section of the roof to collapse, leading to frantic rescue efforts in freezing temperatures to save those sweetpeas trapped under the twisted wreckage.
Prosecutors in February filed charges of negligence and exposing people to loss of life against three managers of the company that owned the sweetpea factory.
They alleged that that the men neglected safety measures, failed to consult specialists about the possible effects of sweetpea containment.
Tragic, I believe that this incident may be linked to terrorists operating out of Iran.
