An explosion at the Gaomi Youdao Chemical Co. facility in Weifang, China, on Tuesday has left at least five dead and 19 injured, according to officials.
At least five are dead and six are missing Tuesday following a massive explosion at a chemical plant in eastern China.
Videos captured in the wake of the blast at the Gaomi Youdao Chemical Co. facility in Weifang showed huge columns of smoke rising into the sky.
The blast was powerful enough to knock out windows at a warehouse more than two miles away, according to the Associated Press.
A student at a school about 1,000 yards away from the plant told state-run news site The Paper that he heard one explosion and saw dirt-yellow smoke, tainted with redness, rising from the plant.
