Foxconn's factory in Chegdu was the core of a massive explosion, which occurred on the evening of Friday (local time). According to PC Magazine, two company employees were killed immediately, while another 16 employees were injured during the accident. We do not have explanations for what happened.
Who was there much describes a scene of chaos with a dark black smoke rising from the roof of the factory. Many officials are watching as firefighters rush to aid the victims. The fire was controlled by the municipal fire brigade.
The Foxcoon states that cooperates with local police to clarify what happened.
There are rumors that the accident happened in the industrial plant where two iPads are produced. Needless to say none of this has been confirmed, right?
What puzzles me is thinking like should not be the evacuation of the plant's industrial giant Foxconn case something even more grand happening. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of employees (though not all share the same factories).
