There was apparently an explosion and fire at the Cesaroni Technology, Inc. plant in Gormley, Ontario.
Cesaroni is one of the major manufacturers of composite mid- and high power rocket motors.
A couple of injuries were reported, and one person was airlifted to a hospital in Toronto. Hopefully that person will recover. No fatalities were reported.

DeleteIf you get any news, Matt, I hope you'll update us.
DeleteWhy is there a news blackout? Were dangerous chemicals spewed into the atmosphere?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why there's no additional news. There is probably more information on The Rocketry Forum. If the NAR sends out any information, I'll update the blog.
