3 workers still missing after explosion at Quebec propane company

Quebec provincial police said Friday that three workers are still missing 24 hours after an explosion at a fuel distribution company in the Lanaudière region.

The SQ officially took over the investigation into the blast that rocked the small municipality of St-Roch-de-l'Achigan, a municipality about 50 kilometres north of Montreal.Quebec's public security minister, François Bonnardel, arrived in St-Roch-de-l'Achigan Friday morning. It's too early to say what caused the blast. However, experts are investigating the possibility that a truck inside the facility's garage exploded, CTV News has learned.The SQ said police were unable to access the scene for much of the day because of the fire, which wasn't brought under control until Thursday evening.

Officials were extra prudent due to safety risks and concerns that oil or gas could end up in a nearby river. A drone was used to assess the risk so firefighters could continue their operation, Thivierge said. Buildings within a one-kilometre radius of the blast were evacuated Thursday, affecting hundreds of residents.

Workers missing after explosion at propane company in LanaudiereMunicipal officials say workers are missing after an explosion at a fuel distribution company in Quebec's Lanaudiere region. The explosion occurred Thursday at 11 a.m. at propane facility in St-Roch-de-l'Achigan, about 50 kilometres north of Montreal. And a major chemical plant in America today as well. 🤔 Don't want to make light of a tragic incident but what is 'possibly missing'? A person is either accounted for or he isn't, am I right?
