10 taken to hospital, including 1 firefighter, after explosion at animal feed plant in Omaha, Nebraska

Area: 
Omaha, NE
At least 10 people have been hospitalized and others could be trapped after an explosion and partial building collapse Monday at an Omaha animal feed processing plant. Interim Omaha Fire Chief Bernie Kanger said he's not sure how many workers could be trapped in the wreckage of the International Nutrition plant. The fire that followed the explosion around 10 a.m. has been extinguished, but firefighters gingerly searched the structure, fearing that more debris could rain down. "It's very extreme conditions" inside the plant now, Kanger said. "There is significant structural damage inside."
