1 still missing after deadly steel plant explosion
An explosion at a U.S. Steel plant near Pittsburgh has left one dead and dozens injured or trapped under the rubble. During the most recent update, officials said that one person is still unaccounted for in the rubble. Allegheny Health Network said it had seven patients from the explosion being treated by its hospitals. It did not provide information about the patients' conditions. University of Pittsburgh Medical Center said it was treating two patients at UPMC Mercy, the region’s only level one trauma and burn center. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said on Monday that his administration has been in constant contact with labor leaders and local officials. "Injured employees have now been transported to local hospitals to receive care, and search-and-rescue efforts remain active at the plant," Shapiro said on X. "If you’re in the area, continue to follow the instructions of local authorities. Lori and I are eternally thankful for the bravery of our first responders — and we continue to pray for the entire Clairton community." An Allegheny County emergency services spokesperson, Kasey Reigner, said dozens were injured and the county was sending 15 ambulances, on top of the ambulances supplied by local emergency response agencies. US Senator John Fetterman gave an update on the explosion near Pittsburgh after speaking with USW and U.S. Steel officials on-site at the Clairton Coke Works. "There is an active search and rescue underway, dozens injured, and per police there’s at least one unaccounted for," he said. He also released a statement on X, writing, "My team and I are tracking this explosion and waiting for more information. For those in the area, please listen to local officials and avoid the area. Keeping those injured and all who are impacted in my thoughts right now." Fetterman, who formerly served as the mayor of nearby Braddock, called the explosion "absolutely tragic" and vowed to support steelworkers in the aftermath. "I grieve for these families," Fetterman said. "I stand with the steelworkers."
