Gas explosion at Connecticut power plant kills five
An explosion during a blow down at the Kleen Energy Systems plant in Middletown killed at least five workers and injured over a dozen others. The 620 megawatt facility was 95 percent complete and under purging of natural gas lines when the blast occurred around 1:15 a.m. Investigators will examine the cause as crews search debris through the night. Local residents reported the blast felt like a sonic boom, with extensive damage to the unfinished structure and surrounding area.
