Rescue teams in Germany continued searching for missing workers Wednesday at an industrial park for chemical companies where an explosion killed at least two people and injured 31 others, German news agency dpa reported. The Tuesday explosion at the waste management facility of the Chempark site in western Germany produced a fire that took firefighters almost four hours to extinguish. It was not clear how many people were still missing. Police said on Wednesday that investigations into the cause of the explosion would begin on Thursday, dpa reported. So far, it appeared that the blast was linked to storage tanks filled with solvents.
