Two people are fighting for their lives after a series of frightening explosions turned a Florida gas plant into a fire ball overnight on Monday reports The Daily Mail.
Residents within a mile of the plant were evacuated after the huge blasts began just after 11 p.m. at Blue Rhino, a propane tank-exchange business in Tavares, Lake County.
Officials said between 24 and 26 workers were doing the night shift at the site when the explosions began, and then continued every few seconds for a period of around two hours.
Fifteen were initially reported missing, feared dead, but Blue Rhino said that by 2 a.m. Tuesday all of its employees had been accounted for.
Two critical burns patients were choppered to Orlando Regional Medical Center, while another five were transported, either air lifted or by ambulance, to other regional hospitals. An additional three workers drove themselves to hospital.
