MIDDLETOWN, Connecticut - About five people remain unaccounted for after a deadly explosion at an under-construction power plant, and a section of the site was too unstable to search, a fire official said Monday.
Sunday morning's blast at the Kleen Energy Systems plant in Middletown, about 20 miles south of Hartford, killed at least five people and injured a dozen or more others. It happened as workers were clearing gas lines of air.
Middletown Deputy Fire Marshal Al Santostefano said officials have verified the whereabouts of 95 percent of the nearly 100 workers who were at the plant, citing conversations with contractors and labor union officials. It was unclear whether the workers who remain unaccounted for are missing or haven't been contacted yet by authorities.
