One person was killed and seventy-three people required medical treatment after a chemical plant explosion.
Four of the injured were evacuated by helicopter, due to the severity of their conditions.
The plant, located north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, exploded Thursday morning.
Nearly six hundred people were inside it when the blast occurred.
Residents in a two mile radius, of the plant, were asked to evacuate or warned to keep everything in their homes closed up, as the smoke might be harmful.
Fire fighters were able to put out the blaze.
Investigators are trying to determine the cause of the explosion.
