Four Marshall Islands’ citizen’s remains hospitalized after an explosion at the Blue Rhino propane plant in Florida.

 

The four Marshallese were among the injured workers from the explosion in late July.

 

Roger Pries, a Florida resident and Marshall Islands Journal reader told the newspaper that the four plant workers from the Marshall Islands are in critical condition.

 

He told the Journal that he and his wife are planning the visit them in the Orlando Hospital.

 

CNN reports that the explosion may have been caused by a combination of equipment failure and human error.

 

There were about 53, 000 20-pound cylinders of propane at the facility during the time of the explosion.

 

Fireballs from the explosion were seen miles away, but fortunately no deaths have been reported and residents were not injured.

 

Online reports indicate that the explosion still remains under investigation.
