Multiple Fatalities After Powerful Explosion At Chicago-Area Industrial Plant

Crews located another body on Sunday at the site of a large explosion at a Waukegan industrial plant, officials said, bringing the death toll from that incident to three with one person still unaccounted for. A large explosion tore apart the AB Specialty Silicones plant near Sunset and Northwestern Avenues shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday. Of the nine in the building at the time of the blast, one body was found early Saturday. Four people were taken to the hospital and one of those, 29-year-old Allen Stevens, died later Saturday at Loyola Medical Center. The condition of the other three workers taken to hospitals was not immediately known, Lenzi said. The third confirmed death was the body located Sunday with one other body still to recover.
