Title: Foxconn Chengdu plant fire, possible explosion Post by: HCK on May 21, 2011, 07:00:06 am Foxconn Chengdu plant fire, possible explosion
Via MacRumors and M.I.C Gadget, there are reports coming in of a substantial fire and possible explosion at a Foxconn plant that is said to be dedicated primarily to iPad 2 production. M.I.C Gadget has several video clips of the scene, including smoke billowing from a building, people evacuating and reports of multiple fire engines responding to the emergency. There are reports of some injuries and speculation that the fire/explosion was caused by airborne dust. Our thoughts are with the victims of this emergency, and we hope that all the remaining employees are able to evacuate the plant safely.Foxconn Chengdu plant fire, possible explosion originally appeared on TUAW on Fri, 20 May 2011 11:25:00 EST.
