US
Cannon-Muskegon, a company in Norton Shores Michigan, was the scene of a furnace explosion yesterday it is reported.
Despite having 35 employees in the plant at the time, no injuries have been reported despite molten metal being sprayed all across the plants interior. As a result local fire services had difficulty gaining access to the incident due to heavy smoke.
The company that produces high-tech material for varying sectors has accounted for all its staff and roads surrounding the plant were closed by security personnel. An investigation will follow.
