A series of explosions at a gas facility in Dallas sent flaming debris onto highways and buildings near downtown seriously injuring at least two people. A half-mile area surrounding the Southwest Industrial Gases, Inc. facility was evacuated and parts of Interstates 30 and 35 were shut down as the explosions continued for over a half hour. Small fires were burning as stacks of gas cylinders exploded. The canisters held acetylene and propane gas. It was not immediately determined what caused the canisters to explode.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s emergency responders arrived on the scene to monitor the air.
