Chocolate factory explosion in Pennsylvania leaves 2 dead, 9 missing

READING, Pennsylvania - Two people were killed and nine others were missing after a powerful explosion ripped through a chocolate factory in West Reading, Pennsylvania, on Friday, sending a plume of smoke into the air and shaking houses blocks away, officials said.

The explosion sent a column of debris, flames and dust shooting into the air, as shown in a video that was captured by weather cameras and shared on Twitter by a reporter for Fox 29 News in Philadelphia. Mr Holben said that there was no danger to the surrounding area but that authorities were urging people to avoid the scene. He said that a command centre had been set up to coordinate the local and state agencies that were responding to the explosion.
