AND GOOD EVENING, WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US ON THIS TUESDAY NIGHT. WE WANT TO BEGIN WITH THAT DEADLY EXPLOSION. AT AN INDUSTRIAL RECYCLING FACILITY IN OHIO. 2 PEOPLE WERE KILLED AFTER THE PLANT SUDDENLY BLEW UP. AND BREAKING RIGHT NOW, ANOTHER HAZMAT SCARE AT A NEARBY PLANT. OFFICIALS URGING PEOPLE THERE TO EVACUATE THE SURROUNDING AREA. THESE WERE THE FIERY IMAGES FROM EARLY THIS MORNING. YOU CAN SEE THE BRIGHT RED FLAMES AND BLACK SMOKE POURING INTO THE AIR AND WATCH THIS.

SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE CAPTURING THE HUGE BOOM. YOU HEARD IT RIGHT THERE WHEN THE PLANT EXPLODED, LIGHTING UP THE NIGHT SKY AND SHAKING THAT CAMERA. VIDEO SHOWED FIRST RESPONDERS RACING TO THE SCENE TO TRY AND. PUT THE FIRES OUT AND RESCUE WHOEVER WAS STILL INSIDE. OUR DRONE CAPTURING THESE IMAGES OF THE AFTERMATH, AND LOOK AT THIS, THE PLANT. COMPLETELY FLATTENED AND DESTROYED. THESE TANKS, WHICH MAY HAVE HELD CHEMICALS, BLOWN COMPLETELY APART. SHAQUILLE BREWSTER IS AT THE SCENE IN TOLEDO TONIGHT.

HE STARTS US OFF. TONIGHT THIS FRIGHTENING SCENE, A DEADLY FIREBALL ILLUMINATING THE PRE-DAWN SKY. THAT THICK PLUME OF DARK BLACK SMOKE BILLOWING HIGH INTO THE AIR ABOVE A TOLEDO, OHIO NEIGHBORHOOD. YOU CAN HEAR THE SIRENS AS FIRST RESPONDERS RACED TO THE SCENE. THIS HOME SECURITY CAMERA CAPTURING THE BLAST. DAKOTA OROZCO ALSO LIVES NEARBY. HE TOLD ME THE SOUND SHOOK HIM AWAKE.

IT SEEMED ABOUT 100 FT FLAMES. THE SKY WAS TINTED ORANGE AND RED. IT LOOKED DYSTOPIAN. WAS IT SCARY? YES, IT WAS. OFFICIALS SAY THE EXPLOSION AND PARTIAL COLLAPSE CLAIMED THE LIVES OF TWO. WORKERS AND THAT IT HAPPENED DURING A SHIFT CHANGE AT BRENT INDUSTRIES, AN INDUSTRIAL RECYCLING BUSINESS, TRIGGERING A MASSIVE RESPONSE. DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING, DUE TO THE CHEMICALS INVOLVED BEING A HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SCENE, AND THEN DUE TO REPORTS THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE TRAPPED IN THE BUILDING.

CREWS LAUNCHING AN URGENT SEARCH AND RESCUE MISSION WITH 2 EMPLOYEES MISSING, BUT RESCUE TEAMS WERE EVACUATED BECAUSE OF THE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. FIREFIGHTERS BATTLING NOT JUST THE FLAMES BUT. ALSO LOW WATER PRESSURE IN NEARBY HYDRANTS. WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE BUILDING EXPLODED, IT BROKE WATER MAINS INSIDE OF THE BUILDING AND THEY WERE FREE FLOWING. AND WE DIDN'T. WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SHUT THE WATER OFF RIGHT AWAY. HOURS LATER, AUTHORITIES FINDING THE BODIES OF TWO MISSING EMPLOYEES, A MAN AND A WOMAN WHO DID NOT SURVIVE.
